SUMMARY: The Bob Tyler Fish Hatchery in Yalobusha County, established in 2006, focuses on raising sport fish and helping species in need of assistance. All fish raised at the hatchery are returned to public waters. Emily Wiggins, the director of the visitor education center, enjoys teaching children about fish and the outdoors. The education center features an aquarium with native Mississippi fish, and visitors can observe feeding time for the catfish and other fish. The hatchery also offers educational events, including a youth fishing rodeo on May 17th. Fish are carefully raised, from fry to fingerlings, before being stocked into ponds.

WTVA’s Chelsea Simmons visited the Bob Tyler Fish Hatchery for this week’s episode.
