Trout Hatcheries of Arizona
Due to the low numbers of natural trout reproduction, the Arizona Game and Fish Department hatchery stocked almost 3 million trout for Arizona's public waters in 2008. Determining where to stock the fish and in what quantities takes a coordinated effort between the hatcheries and the field biologists in the areas to be stocked.
Most hatcheries have specific areas of the state where they stock, although there is some overlapping. Five of these hatcheries - Page Springs, Canyon Creek, Tonto Creek, Silver Creek and Sterling Spring - feature various trout species.
It takes a lot to put that trout on the end of your line. Raising trout is a complex business supported primarily from revenues generated by anglers themselves.
