The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Auburn Fish Hatchery recently stocked about 900 catchable-sized Snake River cutthroat trout in the Kids Fishing Pond at Rendezvous “R” Park north of the Highway 22 Snake River Bridge. Kids are encouraged to come catch whenever they want. There were 800 approximately 9-inch fish and another 100 adult brood fish that measure 16-inch in length that were released. The brood fish are the adults that provide the eggs and milt that are annually combined at the hatchery to make all the Snake River cutthroats that are stocked in local waters and other places around the state. Another 900 fish are planned to be stocked next week. Wyoming Game and Fish Department, along with several volunteers and partnering organizations, typically holds the wildly popular Kids Fishing Day event the first Saturday in June. Unfortunately, due to COVID and the risks associated with congregating people, this is the first time in 30 years the event didn’t happen.
