Fraser's Mills Fish Hatchery Traditional Cache

This cache is located near the Fish Hatchery.  While placing this cache we met one of the employees on his way home from work.  He was very willing to provide lots of info re the hatchery and their contributions to sport fishing in NS.  

The Fraser's Mills Fish Hatchery is one of 3 in Nova Scotia.  They stock 400 lakes a year across NS. Built in 1928 as part of the Government of Canada's hatchery system, Fraser's Mills has essentially been rebuilt since the Province of Nova Scotia assumed responsibility for its operation. The site has outdoor raceways and circular ponds as well as a hatchery building and broodstock development facility. Four species of salmonids are reared at this hatchery; Speckled (Brook) trout, Brown trout, Rainbow trout and Landlocked salmon. It is the only trout broodstock (adult parent fish) facility in the province, with several thousand broodstock maintained on this site. This hatchery distributes approximately 500,000 - 700,000 fish annually.
