The North Hastings Community Fish Hatchery (NHCFH) is a community, volunteer-based, organization that is raising “local fish for local lakes”.

The hatchery is raising a unique local strain of Lake Trout (named the ‘jewel’) that has adapted over time to the conditions in our area and is more likely to sustain healthy lake trout populations into the future. In recent years, the hatchery has also expanded production efforts to include brook trout and brown trout.

With the support of donors like you, we have raised over 76,000 lake trout since 2008.
