Description

History

Established in 1955.

Owned and funded by the Bureau of Reclamation and operated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Nimbus Hatchery raises and releases four million Chinook salmon and 420,000 steelhead trout each year. The hatchery was built to mitigate, or make up for, the loss of all but 7 miles of spawning habitat when Nimbus and Folsom Dams were constructed.
