 DNR To Host Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility Open House Oct. 12

 

*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites the public to an open house at the Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility [ [link removed] ] in Kewaunee on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This free annual event will give attendees an opportunity to watch salmon egg collection demonstrations, enjoy educational displays and presentations and take a guided tour of the facility. The Algoma Kewaunee Great Lakes Sport Fisherman will provide wagon rides to the facility from the parking area from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. People of all ages and backgrounds are invited and encouraged to attend.

Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility is the first step in stocking trout and salmon in Lake Michigan. Returning adult trout and salmon are collected during their spawning run up the Kewaunee River to collect eggs to produce fish for stocking in the future year. Eggs from Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility are taken to other hatcheries to be raised and stocked back into Lake Michigan and its tributaries to support the Great Lakes sport fishery for years to come.
