Operations
The Peterson Hatchery produces Lake Trout and Splake Trout annually for Minnesota's Cold Water Trout Program. Our trout are stocked into cold, deep water lakes throughout northern Minnesota near the towns of Hinckley, Grand Rapids, International Falls, Tower and Grand Marais. Fish are stocked as 4" fingerlings in fall and as 8" yearlings in the spring. Peterson Hatchery also maintains a captive lake trout brood stock, which provide eggs for each years fish production.
