Welcome to the Mescalero Tribal Fish Hatchery! 💜🐟🪶🖤 Tours are always welcome. Large tours MUST call in advance so we can prepare for your arrival!

Also Like & Follow our page for all the latest MTFH updates and fish stockings! 🎣 Thank you! 😊 The Mescalero Tribal Fish Hatchery is a very unique facility with a interesting past! Ran by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service from 1964 to 1999 the facility was known as the Mescalero National Fish Hatchery. In 2000 devastating fires and flooding from up the canyon deemed the hatchery a total loss with 100% fish kill. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service gave the hatchery back to the Mescalero Apache Tribe. With a very small amount of funds from the Mescalero Apache Tribe and a couple of partner Tribes they literally brought back the hatchery from the ashes, and formed the Southwest Tribal Fisheries Commission! Making the Mescalero Tribal Fish Hatchery the only Tribal Hatchery in the Southwest! To this day the MOU Agreement between the Mescalero Apache Tribe and the Southwest Tribal Fisheries Commission is stronger than ever! With high hopes to continue the partnerships between; as of now, 19 member Tribes! The Mescalero Tribal Fish Hatchery is a non-profit organization and is committed to providing low cost fish through the Southwest Tribal Fisheries Commission to tribes throughout the Southwest! We are also involved in engaging in educational programs and to mentor all students including tribal youth in pursuing careers in natural resources!
