REGION — It is time to think about stocking your pond with bass and minnows. The Sullivan County Soil and Water Conservation District is holding its annual bass and minnow fish-stocking program. If your pond seems to have excessive vegetation, you may want to consider grass carp.

If you are interested in stocking your pond with largemouth bass, fathead minnows or grass carp, call the conservation district at 845/292-6552 and request an order form to be mailed to you. You can also go online to the district’s website at sullivancountyswcd.com. The district will be accepting orders until Monday, June 16.
