Dale Hollow is in Tennessee, in Celina. You are probably thinking of Wolf Creek National Hatchery, which is in Kentucky.
I would like to think that TWRA would acquire the hatcheries, but it will be tough to make the numbers work with TWRA's budget. Our licenses in Tennessee are already not cheap, and I shudder to think what kind of cost increase it would involve for the State to take over the hatcheries. Hopefully the feds will figure out some other way to manage the budget without USFWS closing the doors on the hatcheries.
