The Missouri Department of Conservation raises thousands of trout in the fish rearing pools located near the head of the Spring. Small fish are hatched at other state hatcheries, transported to Maramec Spring and placed into the rearing pools.

The fish are fed 3 times each day. They will grow almost an inch each month in the cool spring waters.

When they are approximately 12 inches in length, they are stocked into the Spring Branch. Hundreds of anglers spend many pleasurable hours in pursuit of these trout.

Even if you aren't a fishermen you will enjoy tossing feed to the fish and watching them come to the surface. Fish feeders have been placed along the rearing pools for your convenience.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

LOVE this one, Rockin'Randy! Normally...I am not so crazy about text on photo-images, but this i like...you chose an excellent font for it. Nice work. The color and clarity are great! I also love the lower right framing done by the stones/rocks.

Beautiful job on this, Randy. The colors and the lighting are just perfect and the framing tops it off.

The colour of the water is excellent and I really like the rocks in the corner. Work very well together. I am not very keen on the frame and text. I think this picture stands on its own merits. It's a good one and does not need the frame or the text.
