NDOW Stocking Program
NDOW operates three fish hatcheries and a rearing station throughout the state: Mason Valley Fish Hatchery near Yerington; Gallagher Fish Hatchery in Ruby Valley; Lake Mead Fish Hatchery near Las Vegas; and Spring Creek Fish Rearing Station near Baker, Nevada. Hatcheries primarily produce coldwater fish such as Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Cutthroat Trout which are used to augment recreational fishing opportunities around the state. Lake Mead Hatchery, on the other hand, helps rear native non-game fish species found within the southern region of the state. Occasionally, warmwater fish such as Channel Catfish, Bluegill, Wipers and Tiger Muskie are purchased from other vendors for stocking around the state.
