Mackay Fish
Hatchery
The Mackay Hatchery is a specialty
fish production station located approximately 12 miles north of the town of Mackay
in Custer County, Idaho. To reach this hatchery travel 12 miles north of the town
of Mackay on Highway 93 to the marked turnoff to the hatchery. Travel approximately
6 miles on this paved road, following the signs, to the hatchery entrance. The
hatchery produces salmonids of various species and strains, from 1 to 16 inches
in length, for statewide distribution. Funding is obtained under contract from
the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program, more commonly known as Wallup-Breaux,
and from state license monies for fish feed and operational costs.
