Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility Open House

Description

You’re invited to an open house at the Besadny Anadromous Fish Facility (BAFF) in Kewaunee!

This free annual event will give attendees an opportunity to watch salmon egg collection demonstrations, enjoy educational displays and presentations and take a guided tour of the facility.

The Algoma Kewaunee Great Lakes Sport Fisherman will be on-hand to provide wagon rides to the facility from the parking area from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. People of all ages and backgrounds are invited and encouraged to attend.

BAFF is the first step in stocking trout and salmon in Lake Michigan. Returning adult trout and salmon are collected during their spawning run up the Kewaunee River to collect eggs to produce fish for stocking in the future year. Eggs from BAFF are taken to other hatcheries to be raised and stocked back into Lake Michigan and its tributaries to support the Great Lakes sport fishery for years to come.
