Story Fish Hatchery Visitor Center
311R Fish Hatchery Road, 5 miles west of Story (307) 683-2234

The center is a popular for both locals and visitors, receiving more than 14,000 guests annually. The hatchery stocks nearly 250,000 fish each year and processes up to four million trout eggs that will eventually end up in the state’s fish culture program or are shipped to other states in trade for species not raised in Wyoming’s hatcheries.

Managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the hatchery is the oldest operating station in the state. The original hatchery was in Sheridan but was moved to the current location because of a better, colder water supply. Water is drawn from South Piney Creek 1.5 miles away. An underground waterway from the creek moderates the water’s temperature.

The center is open from april 15 through September 15, and the grounds are open to visitors year-around.
