LUBBOCK, Texas — One of Texas' five fish hatcheries will likely suspend operations because of low water levels in lakes that feed it, state officials said Wednesday.
Todd Engeling, the hatcheries program director for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said a closure would mean fewer fish available to sportsmen this year. A decision on whether to temporarily close Dundee Fish Hatchery west of Wichita Falls will come in the next two weeks.
"It will last until there is enough water for us to operate with," Engeling said.
