Celebrating 100 Years for the Daniel Fish Hatchery
August 19, 2018
The Wyoming Game & Fish Department hosted a celebration on Saturday, August 18th in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Daniel Fish Hatchery. The public was invited to take tours of the hatchery, and there were display stations with historical photos and information on the history of the hatchery and raising fish.
The event was co-hosted with the Sublette County Historic Preservation Board (CLG) and the Upper Green River Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Visitors enjoyed a BBQ lunch with hamburgers, Dutch oven beans and cobblers, potato salad, and ice cream. Everyone was invited to get a ticket for a door prize raffle with many great items donated by people in the community. Prizes included gift certificates, lodging packages, hats, dinners, cookouts, PAC tickets, and many more great items donated by members of the community.
Many relatives of past employees, and members of the Pape and Boroff families who were significant in the history of the Hatchery, came to the event making it a kind of giant family reunion gathering as well.
The Daniel Fish Hatchery is located northwest of Daniel next to 40 Rod Creek.
