“Rock Creek Hatchery has produced millions of fish for Nebraska anglers to catch. In 2024 alone, Rock Creek Hatchery was scheduled to stock more than 92,000 rainbow trout and 2,500 tiger trout.”

Once regarded as the most popular of all game fish, the rainbow trout still has a big presence in Nebraska waters. In the early 1900s, trout were not only a staple food source for many but also an esteemed sport fish for anglers. Because of this popularity, ideas began to form at the Nebraska Bureau of Fish and Game, now the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, about growing rainbow trout.

Then, in 1924, the Bureau purchased 20 acres of land north of Parks for a new hatchery for $4,500. Fed by Rock Creek, a series of the largest and coldest springs in Nebraska, the Bureau planned for this new hatchery to supply the entire state with trout.

It was a lofty goal that quickly gathered steam.
