Trout hatchery closure

Doskil · Feb 26, 2011

Looks like the Feds want to shut down the Erwin National Fish Hatchery.

It supplies trout to NC and TN, maybe other states as well.

It's been there for a long time. I went there on an elementary school field trip which was, lets see, over 35 years ago.
