It may not look like much now, but Division of Wildlife Resources fishery staff turned the water on Friday at the new warmwater fish hatchery at the Lee Kay Center in West Valley City. Warmwater fisheries cooridnator Drew Cushing has been working hard to get the hatchery operational and to secure disease-free muskies. The muskies are scheduled to arrive in a month and the DWR will soon be at Recapture Reservoir near Blanding catching pike to cross with them to create tiger muskies for Utah anglers.

The Utah Bass Federation, Rocky Mountain Anglers and Blue Ribbons Fisheries Council have also been major players in the hatchery. Here's a link to a story I did on the hatchery in July.
