10/30/01: Male and female brook trout surge towards the end of a concrete raceway as Shane Kornberg, a fish technician at the Armstrong State Fish Hatchery outside of Marion, NC tries to net the brood fish. The hatchery is a source for brook and brown trout where they keep brood trout for spawning. Besides raising these trout from eggs and milt until they are big enough to stock in North Carolina streams Armstrong also raises rainbow trout but buys the plentiful rainbow eggs.
