About the Owners
Dino and Roberta Giannola purchased the Watersmeet Trout Hatchery in February 2007. Dino is a Michigan native who attended Michigan Tech University. He has spent the last 25 years in Texas and recently retired from firefighting after 24 years with the City of Arlington, Texas. Dino is an avid outdoors man who was taught to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors by his father. Roberta spent the majority of her childhood years in Michigan. She moved to Michigan in her early teens and attended Wayne State University before moving to Texas with Dino in 1982. Roberta was raised to appreciate the outdoors as well. Robert has worked as an office manager as well as managing a pizzeria with Dino. Dino, Roberta and their three children - Anthony, Amanda and Amber - plan to make the hatchery a "family operation."
