Staff from the Iron River National Fish Hatchery were kept busy giving guided tours to the large turnout of guests for their open house, August 5. 

The event was attended by approximately 500 people who were able to ask questions of the hatchery staff and representatives from Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Ashland Fisheries Resource Office, Trout Unlimited and the Friends of the Iron River NFH. 

The event included coloring for kids, fly-tying demonstrations from Dick Berge of Trout Unlimited, guided tours, and refreshments.
