Skookum Creek Fish Hatchery

Skookum Creek Fish Hatchery was constructed in 1970 near the mouth of Skookum Creek near Acme, WA, for the Lummi Nation.

The hatchery produces 1.5 million Coho yearlings a year; a process that takes eighteen months. Five months of the year, the hatchery has two age groups of fish on site, the yearlings that are released each spring into the waters of the South Fork Nooksack River, and the fry, which will be reared to yearling size over the winter.
