About Us:

Many consider Rushing Waters brand rainbow trout the highest quality trout available on the market. 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.

Fish are harvested to order. That means your fish are swimming when we receive your order. We label containers with the harvest date so you are guaranteed freshness. All our trout are processed in our HACCP-certified plant according to strict quality-assured guidelines. You have the opportunity to receive your order within 24 hours of harvest! It is shipped in insulated foam coolers with ice bricks to insure that your trout will be received in perfect condition.

What does this mean to you? It means Rushing Waters produces a fresher, higher quality product that is unmatched by competitors.

Don't forget that we are also an award-winning producer of fine hot-smoked fish. Our fully cooked ready-to-eat smoked fish has a refrigerated shelf life of 21 days! Two popular fish smoked at Rushing Waters are our own farm-raised rainbow trout and farm-raised salmon. Check out our [Products] page for more information on flavors and assortments!

Our Fish:

Quality Matters!
Fish begin life on the farm as fertilized eggs. We tend the eggs in our hatchery for two weeks before the hatching takes place. These are not just ordinary run-of-the-mill trout. We raise an exceptional strain of rainbow trout called "Kamloops." They are fed a specially formulated trout diet rich in natural proteins without using any animal byproducts. Trout at Rushing Waters will reach one-pound size in eighteen months. During their life, the fish are constantly sorted and graded according to size. Harvesting the fish by hand year-round ensures a consistently high quality fish that has the flavor and texture our customers prefer.

Our Farm:

Tucked in the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Southern Kettle Moraine, 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.

Rushing Waters Fisheries has been growing rainbow trout since the 1940s. We should always be your source for the best rainbow trout on the market.
