Flood inundates lake trout hatchery
Lots of lake trout earmarked for stocking in Lake Superior now may be belly-up in the Mississippi River.
Last weekend’s flooding in southeastern Minnesota flooded the Crystal Springs Hatchery near Altura, Minn., sweeping away thousands of juvenile lake trout, said Darryl Bathel, coldwater production supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Duluth. About 172,000 of the young lake trout at the hatchery were to be stocked next spring in Lake Superior.
