Ran into samples of Rushing Waters Fish last week at my favorite Metcalfe Sentry and was it delicious! I am always suspicious of farm raised fish so I asked lots of questions before and after tasting their products. I tried both the smoked trout and the trout spread. They were both fantastic! Now I want to try the salmon.
Rushing Waters Fisheries has been growing rainbow trout since the 1940's. "Tucked in the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Southern Kettle Moraine (between Milwaukee and Madison), Rushing Waters is one of the most beautiful fish farms in the United States. On 80 acres of pristine forests and valleys, 56 ponds are fed with crystal-clear artesian spring water. These deep underground springs maintain a very cold water temperature ideal for producing healthy rainbow trout."
"The chemical-free trout are grown without antibiotics and by using organic farm practices. The very cold 49°F water temperature year-round causes slower growth insuring premium quality, texture and flavor. The trout are fed a premium diet of non-animal byproduct feed."
You can fish (with their gear) or just order them to be delivered, go to their farm store, or find them at Whole Foods, Copps, and Metcalfe Sentry.
Fishing rules are simple. Use their gear and no throwbacks . . . you keep what you catch, no unaccompanied kids under 13, no swimming, drinking, or pets allowed. Aside from that, no digging for worms, they will bait your hooks, and clean your fish, if you wish. This could be a fun family activity or field trip year round.

Thanks and have a great day!
Capturing my ongoing fascination with the depth and breadth of internet sites out there. Ranging from the absurd to the relevant I highlight sites I locate, some of my posts are long and some short based on available time and what I have seen that is new to me. Although originally a joke newsletter, I have become far more interested in sharing information with my readers. I hope you enjoy this blog and feel free to comment or suggest other sites for my readers. Thanks!
I love Rushing Waters! They are a hidden gem in Wisconsin offering truly sustainable fish! I always make a day out of visiting them...its right next to Bald Bluff and just off of the Ice Age Trail in the southern kettle moraine. I like to get up early, hike bald bluff in the a.m. , stop by RW to catch lunch and then bike the John Muir trails in the afternoon! = perfect day!
