Stocking trout for Memorial Day weekend

Even the fish are getting ready for the first big weekend of the summer season in the Catskills. 

Burr Hubbell sent us these photos of staff from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and a group of volunteers stocking the East Branch of the Delaware River with trout on Thursday, May 21 on Route 30 between Roxbury and Margaretville.
