The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is inviting the public to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Governor Tommy G. Thompson fish hatchery in Spooner.
The hatchery will hold a free open house Saturday, September 26 beginning at 10 a.m.
Visitors will be able to see musky and walleye up close, take a guided tour, and watch fish pumping demonstrations.
There will also be a fish stocking truck on display and activities for families.
The Spooner facility is Wisconsin's largest cool water hatchery.
Each year, walleye and muska lunch raised there are stocked in waters across the state to help maintain fish populations.
More information is available on the DNR's website.

The grand opening will be held Thursday, September 24 from 4 to 7 p.m.
at Scopes Fister Lodge on Highway 77.

The Sawyer County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a phone scam involving someone impersonating an employee of the department.
According to a statement on social media, the sheriff's office as a resident received a call Wednesday morning claiming a family member had been arrested.
The callers said they were with a pre-trial ankle monitor program and told the resident they needed to pay for the ankle monitor before their family member could be released.
The resident instead contacted the sheriff's office and reported the call.
The department says it has received
similar reports recently and would never call someone asking for payment to release a person from jail on a pretrial ankle monitor.
Anyone who receives a similar call should not provide payment information and should contact the sheriff's office.
Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin praised the U.S.
Supreme Court for its decision to reject President Donald Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots this week.
Here's Civic Media's James Kelly.
In an interview on Wednesday, Senator Baldwin said the court was right to reject the Trump administration's unconstitutional attempt to change the rules and stop Americans from voting by mail.
She also called the administration's focus on mail ballots a misplaced priority, highlighting the issues she's been hearing most from constituents across the state.
I've had the opportunity over these past few weeks to...
be traveling the state of Wisconsin and everywhere I went I heard the same thing families and shop owners and businesses concerned about the cost of health care and housing and groceries and fuel and instead of tackling these issues head on Trump
is trying to tip the scales in the midterm elections.
While the decision will protect current mail-in voting access, advocacy groups have also expressed concerns about potential voter intimidation efforts if federal agents are deployed to polling sites in November.
Senator Baldwin noted that it is already illegal to send federal agents to election sites and that she's also been in contact with election officials and state attorneys general to protect against that potential voter intimidation.
We need to make sure that all of us
have eyes on the execution of a fair, just, and efficient election.
Again, we have had a system in the United States with elected officials, local clerks, conducting fair elections.
And that has to remain the case.
And we cannot abide by voter intimidation, by federal agents looking around for no reason at all.
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas released a public dissent in the wake of the decision this week.

The city and town of Beloit are ending fire and EMS agreements with some communities after finding those jurisdictions were paying less than the actual cost of providing the services.
Officials say the disparity came to light during the consolidation of the city and town's fire and EMS departments with Beloit taxpayers covering much of the difference.
Beloit leaders say future agreements must fairly cover costs and avoid putting financial burden on local taxpayers.

So, you know, we're looking forward to some of those opportunities coming on the outside.
