Normandy Fish Hatchery
 Fishing is BIG business in Tennessee, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars spent by countless numbers of anglers trying their luck in our streams, lakes, and rivers. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency works hard to keep these people happy and one of the ways it does that is by making sure there are enough fish in the water. That’s the main purpose of the Normandy Fish Hatchery. Situated on beautiful Normandy Lake in south-central Tennessee, the hatchery is the birthplace of species ranging from bass to bluegill to crappie to catfish. It’s a busy place and an important one for the future of fishing in our great state. Wild Side Guide Terry Bulger gives us a tour of some of its most unique aspects.
A brief description of the fish hatchery awaits you at www.oars.utk.edu/volweb/SCHOOL/bedford/cascade/fishhatch.htm.
