Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery

Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery The Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery produces fish for stocking into public waters to support angling in Saskatchewan.

The facility regularly releases trout and walleye into approximately 175 provincial waters as chosen by Saskatchewan Environment fisheries biologists. The Hatchery is administered by the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) and solely funded through Saskatchewan's Fish and Wildlife Development Fund. Thirty percent of the money raised through the sale of hunting and angling licenses is transferred to this fund.

This week we rounded up and said goodbye to our beautiful pond trout as we do after every visitor season. They went off to the wild! These fish along with all other fish we stocked in 2025 will be listed in the annual Saskatchewan Stocked Waters Guide which is typically posted online in late fall. The guide highlights all public waters stocked by species. We will post the guide as soon as it is available. Happy fishing, everyone! 🐟🐟🐟

And that's a wrap for our 2025 visitor season! We are closed until next year. Our focus now turns to an entirely new cycle of fish production beginning with trout. But, we will miss all of our lovely visitors! If you took the time to stop in for a tour over the summer months, thank you! We appreciate all of the interest and enthusiasm around what we do. We certainly enjoy having guests. If you missed out on visiting the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery this season not to worry- we open again May 1st, 2026. The time will fly! 🐟🐟🐟

As we near the end of summer, we are saying goodbye to three of our staff! Nydia has been with the Hatchery for a year as a term employee while Brady and Landin joined us as our summer students for the 2025 season. We couldn't have been luckier to work with such kind people. Not only are you all hardworking, but you brought a lot of good energy and laughs to our workplace. You will be missed! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors Nydia, Brady and Landin! Stay in touch! :-D
