Five years ago, the staff at Essex County Fish Hatchery would annually stock 45,000 to 50,000 brook, brown and rainbow trout in the waters around Essex County, supplementing the wild salmonids that roam the streams, lakes and ponds of the county in the heart of the Adirondacks.
In 2024, the hatchery in Crown Point, N.Y., will stock just a fraction of that number, instead emphasizing quality over quantity, prioritizing stocking of two-year-old and even three-year-old fish over yearlings.
