Open House at Fish Hatchery SATURDAY


SOMETHING’S FISHY — An open house is slated Saturday at the Bark River Fish Hatchery on the east side of Fort Atkinson. Located at the confluence of the Bark and Rock rivers, the facility has been refurbished and reopened for the first time since the 2008 flood. The Fort Atkinson Wisconservation Club assisted in resurrecting the hatchery by providing both money and manpower. Shown above, DNR fisheries employees Brian Davis and Brian Johnson count northern pike eggs that are being incubated. Soon, the fry will be released into the river. — Daily Union photo by Christine Spangler.
