Operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, this National Fish Hatchery (NFH) is one of many serving a vital role in the management of our country’s fishery resources. Dale Hollow NFH was established to mitigate for fishery resources which were lost due to the construction of federal water development projects in the Southeast. This is accomplished by stocking rainbow, brown, lake, and brook trout in waters impacted by federal dams. Stocking trout in public waters supports a significant recreational fishery which generates a substantial amount of economic activity for local and regional economies. This facility is also involved in the conservation of imperiled, freshwater, non-game fishes

Originally, Dale Hollow's mission was to mitigate the impact of Federal water development projects in Tennessee and Kentucky by providing rainbow trout to affected lakes, rivers, and streams. With the construction of Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery in Jamestown, Kentucky in 1975, its mission changed. Today, Dale Hollow is primarily responsible for providing rainbow trout, along with some brown trout and lake trout to affected Federal waters in Tennessee. Some rainbow trout are released into Federal waters in Alabama and Georgia. Annual distribution averages 300,000 pounds per year
