Description

In 1892, US Fish Commission scientist Barton Warren Evermann used to be on assignment to South Dakota from Washington, DC. His charge: survey fisheries and locate a web page for a federal hatchery. The foray took him to the Black Hills and is derived of Ames Canyon that poured into Spearfish Creek. The web page used to be ideal. By 1899, Spearfish National Fish Hatchery began raising trout for the Black Hills and points beyond, and its effects on fishing were profound. In time, the mission changed, and so did the hatchery’s name. Nowadays’s D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery and Archives―named to honor the hatchery’s first superintendent―is a treasure trove of data associated with fisheries conservation. The ability’s historic and commanding hatchery building is iconic locally and a one-of-a-sort museum.
