Another trip to Upstate New York. Ahhh. The mountains. The Lakes. The Fish!
We visited a NY State DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) Fish Hatchery.
For 25 cents, you can buy a cupful of fish food, and have some fun watching the fish fight each other jumping to the top of the water to get it.
See the fish in the middle, front? He just got the food.
Ok, a few more pics.
Here are the “babies.” They are too young to eat the fish food. After we threw a few pieces in, and they ignored them, we noticed the sign saying NOT to feed them. Sorry. Maybe the sign should be bigger.
I first became interested in Fish Hatchery while researching for my (not yet published) Children’s book, Billy the Brook Trout.
He was probably happy in his day. At least he is in MY stories.
