BRULE, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), along with the Douglas County Fish and Game League, Brule River Sportsmen’s Club, the Wild Rivers Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Western Lake Superior Trollers Association, will host their annual Family Fun Day at the Brule State Fish Hatchery in Brule on Saturday, Aug. 17. 

This free, family-focused event will feature stream shocking and fish filleting demonstrations, guided hatchery tours, fly tying, casting and youth archery lessons, firefighter activities for juniors and t-shirt painting. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in catch-and-release fishing and canoe trips on the Brule River.

The Brule Fish Hatchery raises Seeforellen brown trout for stocking into Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Although the hatchery is located within the Brule River State Forest, vehicle admission stickers are not required on the day of the event. A valid Wisconsin fishing license is required for anyone age 16 or older to fish.

More information on the open house is available on the DNR Events Calendar.
