Kids, Mayor Help Stock Colony Pond, Fishing Derby May 7

CONTRIBUTEDStudents from Prendergast and Mead schools helped to stock 200 trout into Ansonia’s Colony Pond Wednesday.

Dave Connelly and Rich Dziekan sent the Valley Indy a few pictures from the event.

The trout — brown, brook, and rainbow — were transferred from the truck into smaller buckets that the students emptied into the pond.

Mayor David Cassetti also pitched in.

The students were then shown a taxidermy display of freshwater fish in Connecticut by Tom Bourret, a biologist with the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection.

Colony Pond is on Colony Street near Brookside Avenue. 

A flier for a May 7 fishing derby is posted below.
