SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The Sullivan County Water and Soil Conservation District has started its annual trout stocking program. If you are interested in stocking your pond with trout, fathead minnows, or crawfish this fall, the district will be accepting orders until Monday, September 18. Rainbow and brook trout are being offered for sale.

 Trout should be stocked in cold-water ponds.  Anyone stocking a pond with fish must apply for a fish stocking permit through the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation in New Paltz.
