The Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery is a fish hatchery administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service located in Clay County, Tennessee, in the United States. It mitigates losses of fishery resources caused by the construction of United States Government dams as part of water development projects in the southeastern United States by raising brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), brown trout (Salmo trutta), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and stocking them in affected waters. It also engages in the conservation of threatened and endangered freshwater non-game fishes and freshwater mussels.
