NKFF April Virtual Club Meeting

Join us for a great program on Hatchery Creek.

Hatchery Creek is located below Lake Cumberland immediately behind the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery. Many would not know from looking at it, but Hatchery Creek is a completely man-made stream that originates from the cold water outflow of the hatchery and flows over 6,000 feet before joining the Cumberland River. Stream flow is constant, running from between 25 cubic feet per second up to 35 cubic feet per second.  Learn more about Hatchery Creek HERE.

Two experts that have extensive experience with building and monitoring Hatchery Creek will be our speakers.  And by the way, they are brothers.  Their program is designed to respond to questions in the recent NKFF survey about Hatchery Creek and to provide information that we haven’t thought about.
