Bravo ๐ ๐ค๐ค๐คWTG to everyone that helped push this thing! Tom Johnson Douglas County Fish and Game League your efforts did not go unnoticed! Wahhhoooo๐๐๐๐๐
WE GOT A WIN!
After a tremendous amount of public pressure, the Brule State Fish Hatchery will officially stay open!
This would not have happened without all of you. Your voices were loud, clear, and impossible to ignore. From emails and phone calls to conversations in the community, people across the south shore of Lake Superior stood up and made it known just how important this facility is to fishing enthusiast, to our outdoor heritage, and to our economy.
Because of that effort, the Brule State Fish Hatchery will remain open as it enters its 100th year of operation. Hereโs to 100 more! Thank you to everyone who spoke up, shared your stories, and helped fight for the future of the hatchery. This victory belongs to you.
