Alchesay National Fish Hatchery

Alchesay was designed to fulfill a federal responsibility for stocking waters on Tribal lands. Alchesay National Fish Hatchery stocks 17 different Indian reservations and Pueblos including: four different Apache reservations (White Mountain, Jicarilla, San Carlos, and Mescalero), eleven New Mexico Pueblos (Acoma, Isleta, Laguna, Nambe, Ohkay Owingeh, Picuris, Sandia, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Zia, and Zuni), the Navajo Nation in both Arizona and New Mexico, and the Hopi reservation. The demand for hatchery trout for public fishing waters usually far exceeds the supply.
