On May 8, 2024, four members of the Whitehall Rotary Club visited the federal fish hatchery near Ennis, Montana, to learn more about the proper care of trout stocked in the Whitehall historic fishpond each summer. Rotarians Karen Burtch, Candace Ahlin, Libby McBride, and Arlene Weber spent an hour with hatchery staff learning about the hatchery's process and better ways to keep the fish healthy once they are in the pond here in town. The club is obtaining the proper permit to transport larger trout from the Ennis hatchery to the Whitehall pond. The projected arrival of the trout is in early June.
Members of the Whitehall Rotary Club have been caring for the pond and stocking it each summer since the 1950s. Generations of families visit the pond, and many have expressed their thanks to club members for the many years they enjoyed coming to look at the fish.
