After working with the state on trout stocking for months, Orange County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs volunteers are now onto the “county fish.”

On May 23, the first day of county-funded trout stocking, more than 1,200 fish were tossed into the Neversink River, Shawangunk Kill, and Rutgers Creek.
