The Ennis National Fish Hatchery (NFH) was authorized by Congress in May 1930 is the largest facility in the Service’s National Broodstock Program. A broodstock hatchery specializes in rearing fish to adult size, then taking the eggs from those fish, incubating them, and shipping them to production hatcheries throughout the U.S. The hatchery also produces rainbow trout for lakes and reservoirs in the state of Montana. Visitors are welcome to take a self-guided tour of the visitor center and walk through the hatchery building where eggs and small fish are reared. Guided tours are provided upon request. There is a kiosk in the parking lot with visitor information and tour directions. There is also a display raceway for various species of trout.
Getting there
Ennis NFH is located in Madison County, 12 miles southwest of Ennis, Montana, along the northeastern foothills of the Gravelly Range.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 8.9 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
