All About NC Wildlife’s Armstrong Trout Hatchery

Ben and Corey sit down with Spike Gouge, an NC Wildlife legacy who was born into mountain trout production. Did you know that most of our hatchery staff live on site? We discuss what it's like to work and live at one of our three state-owned coldwater hatcheries that produce mountain trout for sport fish stocking throughout North Carolina waterways. Fly fishermen after NC trout this season, this episode's for you.
