I remembered loving it when I visited as a kid so you bet I was stoked to come back as an adult. Was not disappointed! Had a lot of fun viewing the fish and feeding them. As far as staff goes, this is a pretty hands-off place for visitors but we didn’t mind. We were the only visitors and had fun walking around, comparing the fish, and reading the posted info. More people and kids should visit and learn about hatcheries!

I love coming here every time I go to Yosemite. It is so cool to get so close to this many fish, almost like you could touch it. Would definitely recommend making the pit stop and learn more about the nature around you!

Do I need a fishing license here?

Roni Caseri | Oct 6, 2018
Rick | Oct 6, 2018

I believe the only places you don't need a license are like fish farms and ponds that are privately owned. Everywhere else always have a license on you. It's a pretty steep fine and they can take all your gear as evidence.
