Meanwhile, at the fish hatchery

 

Some of the high-tech equipment we saw at the hatchery were these delicate, highly sensitive fish-egg-ticklers (turkey feathers which are used to stir the eggs, allowing fertilization from the sperm) and what appeared to be a circa-1980s Tupperware bowl

Monday morning saw us traveling to nearby Enid, where we were given a tour of the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery by Emily-Jo Wiggins, director of the hatchery's Visitor Education Center. 

She showed us around indoors where we saw tanks of fish from newly hatched to a couple inches long before taking us outside to see the racing tanks where we could try to catch some fish with a net.
