Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery

Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery plays an important role in providing recreational fish species such as channel catfish to National Wildlife Refuges, Military Bases, and Tribal Lands where natural reproduction cannot keep up with local fishing pressures. These fish provide sporting opportunities to numerous people who might otherwise not have access to fishing and also support local economies.  

Production and stocking of paddlefish and alligator gar into public waters in three states not only provide recreational opportunities and generate tax dollars, but also assist in the conservation of these species which might otherwise be imperiled.
