Fish Hatchery in Woodruff to Upgrade Facility

WOODRUFF - Upgrades mean business for the Art Oehmcke Fish Hatchery in Woodruff.

It got a $4.6 million grant from the State Building Commission to make the changes. The Oehmcke Hatchery is critical in restocking the local walleye population.

"These things are a long time coming," said DNR Northwest Hatchery Group Leader Neal Rosenberg. "The last time this place was renovated was in 1993, right around there, so it will help us raise more fish and healthier fish."
