Almaguin Community Hatchery Program (ACHP) (Formerly know as the Almaguin Fish Improvement Association), is an organization of committed residents, dedicated to the health of the waterways between Lakes Cecebe and Ahmic along the Magnetawan River. For close to 40 years the Almaguin Hatchery has protected and promoted Walleye fish stocks in the area.

The ACHP also introduced a micro-hatchery installation to students at the Magnetawan Central Public School and the Almauguin Highlands Secondary School (AHSS).  Mentored by volunteers and teachers, the students care for and raise their own fry before releasing them into local rivers and streams.

The Almaguin Community Hatchery Program (ACHP) captures one Walleye species from one source. No other sources of Walleye are introduced into the watershed, thus ensuring the safety of the environment from which the fish stocks originate.

The Almaguin Community Hatchery Program (ACHP) welcomes any screening, activities and or inspections deemed appropriate.
