SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The Sullivan County Soil and Water 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 accept orders until Monday, September 24. 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 Department of Environmental Conservation.
