Walker Pond stocked with brown trout
By Jonathan Thomas
SEDGWICK--Six hundred and twenty-five yearling brown trout made history on Thursday morning, November 3, as they were delivered to their new home in Walker Pond by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Thirty-seven Brooksville School students from kindergarten through sixth grade assisted in releasing the fish into the pond. Others present included several of the selectmen from Brooksville and Sedgwick, the towns that built the newly opened public landing.
Under state regulation, the Dept. of IF&W is not able to stock ponds that do not have public access. Gregory Burr, IF&W regional fisheries biologist, was present to praise the efforts of the two towns over many years to create this public landing.
The fish were brought to the site from a hatchery in Palermo in large tanks on a flatbed truck. Two of the tanks were quickly emptied into the pond through a large hose with the onlookers watching from the shore.
To give the students a chance to participate, fish from the third tank were put into buckets, with each student given a chance to dump one or more fish into the pond.
Sedgwick school principal Donald Buckingham said the students from his school will participate in a second fish stocking event in early December on a date to be set.
