Viewing the beautiful markings on muskies is one of the benefits of seeing the fish in the hatchery tanks.

 

Visitors at the Spirit Lake Fish Hatchery can view the muskies up close and personal.

Hundreds of people visit the hatchery every spring to view some of the fish that live in the Iowa Great Lakes.

Mother Nature makes tough conditions for 2007 gillnetting.

Eight muskies were netted this evening in our boat despite rough conditions.

Muskies aren't the only thing they're after. Here's a nice walleye.
