Kincardine Fish Hatchery

The Kincardine Fish Hatchery is a longstanding fishing club in Kincardine dedicated to conservation efforts since 1983. With thousands of volunteer hours contributed each year by Club Members, the club operates two fish hatcheries, implements stream enhancements, conducts environmental improvements, and engages in projects in schools. The club also works to protect fishing rights and assists government agencies with assessments and enforcement.

The fish raised at the hatcheries are released along the Lake Huron shoreline and its tributaries, including Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Chinook Salmon. The Kincardine Hatchery and the Port Elgin Hatchery are vital parts of the club's conservation efforts. The club also runs Salmon Mini School Hatcheries to educate and involve the community in fisheries conservation.

The club members love to enjoy, promote, and share the sport they love, as evidenced by the ongoing community stories and projects featured on their website. From monitoring dam removal projects to reviving native species in Lake Huron, the club is actively involved in preserving the local ecosystem.

The club welcomes new members and volunteers to join their efforts in making the fishery better for future generations. Opportunities for volunteers include assisting with school programs, trout and salmon hatcheries, derby committees, dock maintenance, stream enhancements, and more. The self-satisfaction of contributing to the club's conservation work is invaluable, and the club is always eager to hear from passionate individuals willing to get involved. Join the Kincardine Fish Hatchery today and become a part of their conservation efforts.
