Pape and Boroff families recognized for contributions to Daniel Fish Hatchery

September 9, 2018
During the 100th anniversary celebration for the Daniel Fish Hatchery on August 18th, the Wyoming Game & Fish Department presented two Daniel-area families with special recognition for their families’ past contributions in the making of the Daniel Fish Hatchery.
In 1917, Mr. & Mrs. William Pape donated land to the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission for the Daniel Fish Hatchery. The hatchery was completed in 1918. In the 1950s, more land was acquired from William J. Pape, Rose N. Pape in 1951, and land acquired in 1957 from Max F. Boroff and Marion T. Boroff. The Pape spring produces 300-500 gallons of water per minute seasonally at 47F degrees. The Boroff well produces 1500 gallons per minute at 43F degrees temperature.
The Daniel Fish Hatchery raises, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Colorado River Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, Splake, Tiger Trout, and is the home of a Colorado River Cutthroat Trout brood stock. Many of the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout that are reared are used to help supplement populations in their native drainages and the other fish reared are stocked in waters to help maintain healthy populations of trout and to create a diverse fishing opportunities for Wyoming anglers.
