True story.. I had a friend who worked at this hatchery...maybe 20 - 25 years ago... His job was to feed the fingerlings... This meant he had to walk around the perimeter of the ponds draining food out of a 50 lb bag... Being a lazy sod he came up with the bright idea of using an old hand bell he'd found in an antique shop in Scottsdale. He leaned over and rang the bell close to the surface of the water... Of course fish can't hear but they can feel the vibrations from the sound waves... The fish quickly learned to associate the sound waves with food and they came running - swimming - over to where he was... When the tank truck would suck the fingerlings up to take them off to a lake, my friend asked the driver where he was taking them... A couple months later my friend would take his boat out, with a fishing rod of course - and the bell... He'd ring the bell close to the water and always catch his limit... This is a true story...you can look it up...
@Joeyo1967 Joeyo1967 boy i'm not in america, i'm in Germany, the land of universal healthcare and amazing transportation system, not gonna go to that shit hole you call home.
When I was a kid about 17 years ago, I've been to this very hatchery when I use to go camping up around that area. Those tanks they kept those fish in is something I'll always hold as cherished memories of my youth, even caught some of them rainbow trout in many lakes. Ponds and streams. Thanks for sharing the video.
I live in Washington state, I'm now 68 years old. I remember back when I was a kid and just got my drivers license me and my friends would go to the local trout hatchery in late summer and catch grasshoppers and throw them into the pens, what great fun that was, they were like piranha going after them. These days the pens all have netting over them, but I remember those fun days.
My son Thor caught a trout for me on Mother's Day; I cooked it up it was so good, I'd forgotten how good! Now I'm obsessed 😉 Thanks for the great video!
God bless you thank you for your service I don’t know who would or even could take your place if you weren’t here thank you so much I really am praying you can get that gob 🐠
Been to the Tonto hatchery with the kids and now the grandkids, it's definitely worth the trip to go see. First went there myself when I was 10 years old and never forgot the experience.
My father was a member of a rod & gun club when I was growing up, and they had their own private lake that they stocked with rainbow trout that they raised on their property. From what I remember they had 3 separate "pools" with thousands of fish in each. They would stock them in the lake once they got big enough, which was usually around 8-10 inches I think. I remember going with him every week to feed them. The food looked like little brown pebbles and you'd take a bucket full of it and just hurl it into their pool and they'd go nuts, it'd be like a feeding frenzy. Just like what they showed towards the end of the video at 6:20. Same thing we did really. Was pretty cool and it's the first thing I thought of when I came across this video.
Thank You Game in Fish, and Tonto Fish Hatchery! I fish the Rim a lot especially East Verde River.. AZ overall has a Awesome Stocking Program, much better then other states I lived in... I sincerely appreciate it!
I want to say that it was a great video! Also Thank you to all the hard workers who provide us with these great fish to fish for in these lakes!! You guys are awesome!!!
IAmaPersion wow indeed. The biggest culprit is mining, our obsession with gold has killed so many creeks in Colorado. My solution would be total human anahilation, allá Noah(nothing new) what’s yours? Communist pipeline dreams? Love to hear it
They did every time they drop food from top it plops and they associate that with feeding time the power bait ball and weight plop and they come to investigate powerbait also uses ingredients similar to hatchery feed formula
MO Fishing Hey pal 🙋👍my local river has true wild browns,sea trout and grayling,would any of them take any of the power baitsThanks in advance ✌👍💙🎣 From Scotland 🙋
That is awesome. We don't have trout in Mississippi, but a fish truck comes through to our local Co-Op's once a month with catfish, bream, Florida hybrid bass, minnows, grass carp, crappie. I think they come from Arkansas. I have made two dynamite bass and bream lakes. It's fast and easy. I've enjoyed years of joy on my lakes for about $300.
Good job guys ! I live in Colorado and that's how it's done ! All you experts making negative comments need to study trout. Trout generally don't reproduce and must be reintroduced into the streams and lakes. Only sad part is they are super easy to catch.
Don't know how ma nature didn't slap you upside the head. Trout don't reproduce? Don't lie anymore! If humans quit interfering with the natural world you wouldn't have any diseased or gaps where fish no longer swim and reproduce. Dams? Irrigation? Pollution? Overfishing? C'mon now.
i go Turkey hunting out there almost every year...its beautiful one time i was fishing an the top of the spring by the Hatchery an game an fish dumped a big ice chest of trout right in front of me an sead good luck lol.. but the mountain are beautiful i recommend visiting it if you haven't yet
I've been going to the hatchery by airplane flatts since I was 8. Now I'm 24 and I take my kids there. Its Awesome. Although its sad the big pond is empty and it looks kinda run down. Last 3 times I went never saw a single other person or family. I dont think they know they can go walk around.
there's a program up there just for this, i believe. fisheries tech. fisheries biologist? I forget. I know a few involved in it and at a few hatcheries. ..wanted to add that they did 270 million last year. it's a huge operation as far as hatcheries go.
Wow! I didn't realize that people put the trout into those streams... I thought they were regular fish that were born and lived in the rivers. Then again, I'm from Colorado, so maybe the process is different since the video mentioned they can spawn in clear perennial streams.
Well that was awesome!! I love going to the hatchery here in Colorado. I showed the hatchery in Leadville in one of my Trip videos on my RUclips channel called Just what i do
The government should be protecting the environment so that the waterways of the USA aren't drying up through climate change or being polluted to the point of being unable to sustain life. Not subsidising an unnatural method of appeasing fishermen whilst continuing to fuck the environment over and condemning our kids, not even our grandkids but our kids, to a life where they will witness the collapse of our societies. That's what the govt SHOULD be doing.
I remember a mom and pop real hatchery. one day they said they had to close, that the government would be taking over and shutting down all the smaller hatchery for that state I was raised in. the boss told me this would be the beginning of the end for most return dish to the pnw, years later, I now understand what he ment. I wish I could have done more to help.
*begins imagining Japanese coy paintings with calligraphy accents all over the room* Moments later.. *immediately puts on kimono and wooden shoes randomly as the room randomly turns into a traditional Japanese arts dojo in a progressive Esq fashion*
One thing I know about trout, is that trout are probably the fastest dying fish (literally).. As soon and you hooked one and take it out of the water, it will die in the next 1 minute or less.. Not catfish, Ive seen some catfish that have been gutted and slip into the water and still swim away lol
HONESTLY? I really love watching committed professionals re-stocking our fisheries and wildlife. Sure some of these fish fry will grow up to be harvested by both adults and children making memories. Weasels and bears will probably munch on a few as well, but overall - THIS IS MONEY WELL SPENT. Good for people, good for the environment and good for the fish.
I'm old so I remember going fishing with my dad for Native trout, not the pellet fed commercially grown things that are "stocked" into predetermined locations. Now, trout fishing means following the truck to the site, getting a parking spot and catching these fish that have been cared for their whole lives. They have no fear of humans. In fact, they come to humans to be fed only to be caught on hooks. They are terrible for eating with their mushy tasteless flesh. I don't bother going trout fishing any more.
If an egg can go through all this and come out the other side a full fledged healthy happy fish, just imagine what you can do. You’re not an egg chase your dream comment reader, I’m routing for ya❤️
Interesting video. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication in your department. I have a question though: Is there a statute of limitations on fishing in Arizona without an Arizona license ? (and no, I'm not admitting to having done that) But there is some question in my mind if what I did do was legal in the eyes of your department. I live in Page, Arizona which is just barely in Arizona. And there is no place in Arizona which I consider worth traveling to in order to fish. Except in the tiny bit of Lake Powell in AZ. So one year I called up AZ to order a fishing license and asked if it would be ok to just get a Utah non-resident license and the Utah reciprocal Lake Powell stamp for the AZ side. The AZ lady said that she did not think so. She felt that I would have to get an AZ license with all their extra stamps and stuff. Well it sounded kind of screwed up to me so I promptly called the Utah Game and Fish and ordered a non-resident license and reciprocal stamp for lake powell. I was told I would not need a stamp because the lake powell reciprocity was automatic with the license. So I kept doing it that way each year until I became to crippled up to fish. After that it did not matter any more. But I've often wondered what would have happened if any of the Lake Powell game wardens had ever bothered to check my license. There I was, a resident of AZ fishing in AZ without an AZ fishing license?

_"This is a true story...you can look it up..."_
Story of the internet.
*Source:....trust me bro*
Didn't the fish feel betrayed ?
That’s awesome
I remember my last neighbor had a salmon hatchery in his garage. I don’t think it was legal, but it was cool nonetheless.
Daamn rich ppl always trying to take everything.
Wow! Legal and garage fish industry.
The licence is $10 a year of its to study them.. I think $100-$300 to farm food for human consumption.
@@CasualDudeGaming What does being rich have to do with it lol
Does that mean he was growing Salmon to full size on his property? What would he do with the salmon hatchlings?
Im 47 years old my father took me to a place like this when i was 6 i remember it like it was yesterday. Gave me new respect for fishing
Huge respect to these guys and their organization. This would be an awesome job
Thanks so much!

Smoked with beer and a cigar and am at home even in Gander Newfoundland. Love the wild in America!
Wow the fish eggs survive the mail kicking and throwing the eggs.
Interesting video 👍🏻 it’s like breeding brine shrimp
Get Off Your Bass And Lets Fish yeah watching them throw around eggs like that was kind of triggering for me
They have a higher durability than other fish
Yeee
Getting out of the Army here in about 10 months, looking into a possible career here. My school took a field trip there one year, I loved it.

Did you get the job?
God bless you thank you for your service I don’t know who would or even could take your place if you weren’t here thank you so much I really am praying you can get that gob 🐠

Ok RUclips,
I'll watch it
This comment makes me happy.
Kai Grote ah thx
@@imacoolkid721 bruh this vid was in my recommended for a solid 2 weeks. I couldn't watch a video without this one being recommended
Thank you for keeping these awesome rainbow trout and keeping them going thanks for your hard work
Great job guys, keep up the good work, love those fish.
Tony Parrish, Douglas AZ
when i was younger, i used canned corn to fish for trout. they love it because thats what they feed them at the hatchery and they remember it.
Never seen any fish video,
never went fishing,
never knewa thing bout fishes,
got recomanded this video by RUclips,
wtached it,
cried at the end
Paul Biya never went to school either.
Hunters and fisherman are the greatest force behind conservation. If it wasn't for them, programs like this would not exist.
I can really appreciate your guys' passion and willingness to help make this informative video.
GREAT POST!!!! WHAT GREAT CARE FOR THE PROCESS OF KEEPING THESE FISH INTO THE LAKES AND STREAMS!!! AWESOME!!
That's cool. Thank you for keeping trout populations stable.
that made me shed a tear, so cool. And to think, I actually caught one last year. nice Thank you guys
Didn't see when you guys start training them to eat power bait......
Cody Chamberlain lol
I actually catch wild trout on powerbait so...
They did every time they drop food from top it plops and they associate that with feeding time the power bait ball and weight plop and they come to investigate powerbait also uses ingredients similar to hatchery feed formula
secondstate fishing “wild trout” are normally stocked

Omg @Arizonagfishandgame I went there in 5th grade witch was 2 years ago and it was amazing! I went to manzanita Elementary school
How does one get a job in this industry? I have always wanted to work for a fish hatchery
Hey there! A good place to start would be by getting a general biology degree.
there's a program up there just for this, i believe. fisheries tech. fisheries biologist? I forget. I know a few involved in it and at a few hatcheries. ..wanted to add that they did 270 million last year. it's a huge operation as far as hatcheries go.

Mt. Hood community college here in Oregon just outside of Portland has an awesome hatchery tech program

A totally sustainable fish....very interesting. Thank you
I visited this hatchery years ago. Is amazing.
Wow! I didn't realize that people put the trout into those streams... I thought they were regular fish that were born and lived in the rivers.
Then again, I'm from Colorado, so maybe the process is different since the video mentioned they can spawn in clear perennial streams.
This is an awesome video brother, always wanted to see how they do it in the hatcheries and thanks to you I did. Awesomeness.
Isn’t it just amazing to see us as a species having progressed from apes to being able to control the nature for our benefit??
T H don’t know about you but I was not an ape 🦧 hmmmmm I take it your Atheist
I so appreciate what you do . Thank you for paying attention
When I was in 2nd grade My whole class raised hundreds of trouts 40 survived and we let them back to a river
Wait really?.... how?
Well that was awesome!! I love going to the hatchery here in Colorado. I showed the hatchery in Leadville in one of my Trip videos on my RUclips channel called Just what i do

RUDY MIRANDA you need a license to fish?
Whoa what a regulation
Keep doing what your doing coz its just a pure awesomeness
wow, this is the type of GOOD govt SHOULD be doing ALL of the time.
raising fish so the middle-class can go fishing?
So you're saying that Lower-Class citizens can't go fishing? What about the Upper-Class?
i mean it’s a year round thing, so they are doing it all the time
I blame Trump. Why not?
The government should be protecting the environment so that the waterways of the USA aren't drying up through climate change or being polluted to the point of being unable to sustain life. Not subsidising an unnatural method of appeasing fishermen whilst continuing to fuck the environment over and condemning our kids, not even our grandkids but our kids, to a life where they will witness the collapse of our societies.

Very cool! If I ever visited Arizona again this would be great to visit but I guess doesn't have visitors..
Thank you For stalking or Lakes and screen Without you we all would have nothing To catch Thank you again
Seems like a great job, wouldn’t mind doing that for a living.
This is my idea of a dream job. I'd love to work here!

I love river trout more than sea trout....seved on my plate. :)
This is so cool, I had no idea this was done
In the South Bay Area, Ca. they stopped stocking trout about 20 years ago due to lack of funds. Yeah, corruption is rampant in the golden state.
Only an evil mind could arrange such a bouquet of perversion.
One thing I know about trout, is that trout are probably the fastest dying fish (literally).. As soon and you hooked one and take it out of the water, it will die in the next 1 minute or less.. Not catfish, Ive seen some catfish that have been gutted and slip into the water and still swim away lol

What do you feed the hatchery trout?
Wow that’s a lot different from how we do catfish but slightly similar. Pretty cool
Wow Ennius Montana I lived really close to that I loved that fish hatchery my dad worked there
Great job keep them coming
I'm old so I remember going fishing with my dad for Native trout, not the pellet fed commercially grown things that are "stocked" into predetermined locations. Now, trout fishing means following the truck to the site, getting a parking spot and catching these fish that have been cared for their whole lives. They have no fear of humans. In fact, they come to humans to be fed only to be caught on hooks. They are terrible for eating with their mushy tasteless flesh. I don't bother going trout fishing any more.
You can still catch native trout lol
Umm well apparently you don’t go so you wouldn’t know that there are still native trout all around
I really enjoyed this video.
So cool, thanks for providing to nature!
