Kamas State Fish Hatchery, Kamas, Utah - Fish Hatcheries on Waymarking.com

Kamas State Fish Hatchery is located three miles southeast of Kamas, Utah, is owned by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.

The Kamas hatchery began fish production in 1930. It was the eighth State fish hatchery built in Utah. The hatchery was reconstructed between 1998-2001, as part of the Fish Hatchery Production Plan, to increase production of cold-water sportfish for Utah’s anglers. The reconstructed hatchery was dedicated in July 2001.

Kamas Hatchery raises rainbow, brook and cutthroat trout and grayling. These fish are stocked in high mountain lakes of the Uintas, the upper Provo River, Strawberry Reservoir and elsewhere.

Before reconstruction, the hatchery’s fish production capacity was 60,000 pounds annually. It is estimated the hatchery produced 92 million fish since its original construction, providing over 40 million angler hours. Reconstruction allowed fish production capacity to be increased to 140,000 pounds annually. Over 1.3 million rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout and grayling, weighing 131,335 pounds were stocked from the new Kamas State Fish Hatchery in 2002. In 2003, 134,733 pounds were stocked.
