Description
The Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery has stood as a stalwart of southern Inyo County since its completion in 1917. On land purchased and donated by the citizens of Independence, the California State Fish and Game Commission constructed what was at the time the largest and best-equipped fish hatchery in the state. It’s innovative approach to fish rearing, helped spawn the sport fishing industry as we know it today. Local historians David & Gayle Woodruff provide a deep dive into the story behind the Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery in a 55-minute slide show presentation.
