Join us for an in-depth chat with Eagle Bend Hatchery Manager Chris Morton! Hailing from Spring City in East Tennessee, Chris takes us through his journey—from coon hunting with his dad to graduating Tennessee Tech in 2006 and joining TWRA in 2007. Now leading Eagle Bend since 2022, he oversees 36 ponds on 100 acres along the Clinch River, raising species like walleye, striped bass, black crappie, and more. With insights on innovative spawning techniques and stocking lakes like Norris and Watts Bar, Chris also honors mentors like Stump and 48-year veteran Ernie Porter. Don’t miss this peek into hatchery life and fish management!
