Where does Wigwam get its water?
Two springs and one well provide approximately 1400 gallons per minute at a constant temperature of 50oF. This constant flow and temperature is important for raising trout by providing year round growth and allowing personnel to determine how many fish can be held on station at any given time. The creek adjacent to the station provides water for the Snake River cutthroat broodstock held in the pond at the east end of the facility. Using creek water for a broodstock allows the Wyoming Game and Fish to imitate wild conditions and natural spawning conditions.
