At 10am the hatch began! It will take most of the day for all the Striped bass fry to hatch out and begin their swim to the top of the hatching jars. These jars are designed with a tube down the middle so the water flow is concentrated on the bottom of the jar creating an upswell. The jars also have a slide into a main channel which leads the fry into a larger vat for further maturation until we early next week when they will be ready to travel.

Our amazing colleagues, Dundee Fish Hatchery - Texas Parks and Wildlife, will take over from there while we focus our efforts on Smallmouth.

At 3-5lbs each, we hope Panhandle anglers will soon be tangling with one of these on the end of their line!
