We have three warm water hatcheries, one in Ray, one in Las Animas, and then our Pueblo Hatchery is both warm and cold water, and they raise a, a wide variety of species from, uh, catfish to bluegill, crappie, walleye, sockeye, a number of the ones that I'm not even thinking, thinking through.

They've really modified a lot of their techniques to be able to produce really great warm water fish to be able to stock in our, in our resources.
