If there's sufficient interest, second fish hatchery tour possible

 Vicki Tesar this month set up what proved to be a popular visit to the Bellvue-Watson Colorado Parks and Wildlife hatcheries near LaPorte. Didn't make it, but interested? Contact Vicki by phone or e-mail. If there's sufficient interest she'll set up a date next month. 

The hatcheries are among 19 in the state that breed, hatch, rear and stock more than 90 million fish each year.   The Bellvue-Watson Hatchery & Rearing Unit is a cold-water facility that raises rainbow trout, rainbow/cuttrhroat hybridgs, cutthroats, splake and brown trout. Watson raises about 300,000 catchable trout each year and Bellvue annually raises about 1.5 million sub-catchable trout.
