by NSW DPIRD - Recreational Fisheries 12 Jul 04:15 BST

Exciting news for the Northern Tablelands, with the visitor facilities at the Government's Dutton Trout Hatchery at Ebor reopening.

The re-opening of the site provides an opportunity for locals and visitors to see the important work conducted by NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Fisheries. The hatchery produces over two million trout annually, which are then stocked into selected rivers and lakes, enhancing freshwater fishing opportunities!

The hatchery is one of two NSW Government facilities for breeding and rearing premier cold water sportfish, the other being the Gaden Trout Hatchery in the NSW Snowy Mountains region.

In addition to producing stock to enhance recreational fishing opportunities, the site provides community and tourist education and local employment. The site operates as a self-guided facility for visitors with hatchery staff on site to supervise and assist when needed. It consists of a tourist complex with display aquaria, a hatchery recirculation shed for adult broodstock, two cottages, machinery sheds, five earthen fish ponds and a 50 megalitre water storage dam.

Situated along the Serpentine River, the hatchery grounds include a picnic area, barbeque facilities and toilet amenities available for visitors to use for free. The Dutton Trout Hatchery is located at 336 Point Lookout Road, Ebor, and open to visitors 7 days a week from 9.00am to 3.00pm. For more information about the site please visit: Ebor Dutton Trout Hatchery.

DPIRD Fisheries is excited to once again have the public attending the hatchery and we look forward to seeing you all there!
