I've never been to the state hatchery but American Fish Hatchery down near URI is excellent. Clean , water. Big , beautiful trout in at least 3 varieties (rainbow , brook and brown). We used to do the opening day scene down at Abbot Run which is actually in MA but a short bike ride (when I was a teenager) down the road from me. Funniest thing was that on opening day , it was hard to get a spot but just one week later , you could have the place to yourself.
