DESCRIPTION: Como Bluff was built at the turn of the century as a private facility. The Wyoming Department of game and fish purchased the property in 1939 because the fish hatchery south of Laramie was soon to be abandoned. The hatchery is currently owned by Wyoming Game and Fish Department. With an excellent water resource, the hatchery uses four natural springs, supplying nearly 850+ GPM of high quality water. Trout are primarily raised, including Eagle Lake rainbow, fall spawning rainbow, Kamloops rainbow, splake and cutthroat trout. There is an isolation pool to keep eggs and fish separated until they pass disease inspection. The property is 33 (+/-) acres. IMPROVEMENTS: An extensive property with spring buildings, hatchery building with raceways, and rearing ponds. All are in fair condition and ready to be used for a private enterprise. Two homes are also on the property. Hatchery operations and other details of the pipeline system and buildings is available on CD in a power point presentation. COMMENTS: With the increase in private recreational ranching operations throughout Wyoming, demand for private stocking of fish is increasing. Como Bluff presents a unique opportunity for the entrepreneur and business person wanting to start an enterprise out west. A built, ready made operation such as this is a rare opportunity, costing many times more than the asking price to build, even if a site could be located that provides the quality and quantity of water Como Bluff Fish Hatchery does. PRICE: $725,000 |
