Boulder
Rearing Station was constructed in 1952. The dirt ponds and raceways were
upgraded to concrete in 1957. Boulder is a rearing station, so fry between
one and two inches long are transferred here from other state fish
hatcheries. The water supply comes from nearby springs at a temperature of
51 degrees F. The present brood pond, spawning facility and lower raceways
were completed in 1976.
There is also a quarantine hatchery at the rearing
station, which was
constructed in 1992. This quarantine hatchery hatches trout eggs from wild
brood populations with unknown disease status. The main species of fish
raised at Boulder are rainbow and brown trout; however, cutthroat trout and
kokanee salmon have also been a part of the production. Most of the fish
from Boulder are stocked in the Green River drainage and the southwest
portion of the state.
Trout fishing near the rearing station is available at
the three ponds and along a one-mile stretch of the East Fork River.
