Jocko River Trout Hatchery

The Jocko River Trout Hatchery, located just outside of Arlee, Montana, is a vital part of the Fish, Wildlife Parks management of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs in the region. Producing approximately 5-6 million eggs during the spawning season, this hatchery plays a crucial role in stocking other Montana State hatcheries and distributing Arlee Rainbow Trout into state waters. With a dedicated staff of three full-time employees, the hatchery is open to visitors and boasts a range of facilities, including hatchery buildings, rearing troughs, tanks, and raceways.

Spanning across 60 acres of land, the Jocko River Trout Hatchery utilizes water collected from an underground spring area, which is gravity-fed through the hatchery and raceways. The hatchery's location in the scenic town of Arlee, nestled at the southern tip of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Reservation, adds to its appeal as a destination for nature enthusiasts and those interested in the conservation efforts of Montana's Fish, Wildlife Parks.
