Dutton Trout Hatchery

I recently visited the Dutton Trout Hatchery in Ebor NSW. Perched among some magnificent country side, Ebor sits about 1,350m above sea level, providing a cool climate all year round that is suitable for trout. The hatchery produces many thousands of brown and rainbow trout each year, all for the purpose of recreational fishing. All trout produced are stocked in rivers and dams across the state. A big thanks to Paul and the crew for showing us around and being the perfect hosts. A special thanks for letting us wet a line in the ponds which are not always open to the public.
