Finding Our Fish

 Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery sign
We visited Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, Michigan on November 3, 2016.
We saw five different types of marine animals: trout, salmon, sea lamprey, sturgeon and steel head. We got to feed the rainbow trout special fish food in the show pond. There were a ton of fish in the pond! At least a hundred, not counting the babies. And two 6-FOOT sturgeon!
We learned that once the fish get bigger, their food gets bigger.
We brought the eggs back with us. We brought back 150 but 6 died about a week later.
