On Friday, May 19, the Missouri Conservation Commission showed it is committed to the future of trout fishing in the Show-Me State.
By unanimous vote, the Commission approved Cahills Construction Inc., of Rolla, to be the contractor for a multi-year renovation of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Bennett Spring Hatchery.
The hatchery supplies the trout for one of the state’s highly popular fishing destinations – trout fishing at Bennett Spring State Park.
“Outdoor recreation has a huge economic impact for the state of Missouri and Bennett Spring Hatchery has played a critical role in raising fish for anglers for more than 100 years,” said MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley.
