The Little White Salmon National Fish 

Hatchery is the oldest federal hatchery

on the Columbia River, established in 

1896. The hatchery is located on the 

scenic Little White Salmon River, which 

empties into Drano Lake, one of the most 

popular recreational salmon sheries in 

Washington. The hatchery produces 4.5 

million Upriver Bright Fall Chinook and

1 million spring Chinook salmon annually 

for release into the Little White Salmon 

River. The hatchery also provides many 

millions of fall Chinook eggs for other 

federal, state, and tribal hatcheries. The 

hatchery mitigates for lost habitat due to 

hydroelectric projects on the Columbia 

and they also produce salmon to honor 

the 1855 treaties between U.S. and 

Northwest tribes.
