LAKEWOOD, WI (WTAQ) – The Lakewood Hatchery will continue its operation and raise brown trout.
The trout rearing station is run by local volunteers.
Scott VanLaanen with the Northern Oconto County Trout Alliance says they had fears the Lakewood site would close after the DNR closed the Thunder River Hatchery in Crivitz last year.
That facility closed as part of a budget cut.
Thunder River staff oversaw the Lakewood facility since it re-opened in 2015.
