Before our Fisheries Management team can stock OKC’s Fishable Waters, they first harvest the rearing ponds at the H.B. Parsons Fish Hatchery. Draining the ponds slowly helps staff safely corral the fish — but it also makes the fish an easy target for hungry egrets and herons.
Luckily, River the Hatchery Dog is always on duty! River patrols the ponds and keeps those sneaky birds from snagging an easy meal.

Keeping our fish (and our feathered visitors) in check — one bark at a time!

Could you help us find the family of this friendly dog? He is a very nice puppy. He is neutered, groomed, knows basic commands, is leash trained, but has no collar. He turned up at the hatchery early this morning and has been taken to Animal Wellfare OKC at 2821 SE 29th St. Their number is 4052973100.

Thank you for your assistance.

Nothing gets your fisheries management team amped like sampling your OKC fishable waters. Especially when they get to use their electro-fishing boat to see watt fish currently call your local close to home ponds home. You would be shocked at the size and variety of fish they found. Catch you later.
