While some organizations have seen a quicker turnaround following the lifting of most of the COVID-19 pandemic protocols, the Friends of the Norfork Hatchery are in the process of making a come back and volunteer Joe Salisbury would like to see more Twin Lakes community members get involved in organization — especially those who directly benefit from the visitors of the hatchery. He said that the friends came about in 2006, started by renown river guide and flu fisherman Davy Wotton as the board's president and former Bater County Quorum Court Justice of the Peace Leon Alecander as vice president. 

Members of the Friends of the Hatchery will hold meetings at the Hatchery's visitors center. Friends volunteer member Joe Salisbury said they are trying to grow the group which helps support the hatchery with volunteers and funds.
