Volunteers Needed to Stock Brook Trout Fry
March 27, 2013
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Conservation Group will once again be providing brook trout fry for stocking from our hatchery in Morgan, VT. We provide fry free to the public for stocking into beaver ponds in the Northeast Kingdom (VT Fish and Wildlife Department fisheries district 5). All stocked ponds must be freely accessible to the public - no private ponds, no fish to NH or Canada.

Stocking will begin Saturday, April 20, from 7-10 AM and will continue on Sunday and every weekend thereafter until all fish are gone. If you would like to pick up fish during the week, please call Pete Engels (723-5950) or George Thompson (723-6631) to make arrangements.

Fish are carefully packed in plastic bags with water charged with oxygen. Please bring a cooler and a way to keep the bags cold (snow or ice works). Read our fry stocking guide for more information.

The Morgan Hatchery is located on Elliot Acres Road, off Rte 111 in Morgan.
