I'm in western New York & the Caledonia hatchery just celebrated its 150th anniversary. And Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island is the oldest in the country. When I was an undergrad, we fin clipped fingerlings at the Bath Hatchery for a stocking study.

But almost every old farm here has an old farm pond that is stocked with bass or pan fish like bluegills... or a stream that can be fished. We are in the Finger Lakes and Great Lakes part of the state. Lots of freshwater... and ugly invasives to mess it up.

There have been stocking programs for various salmonids to release into the Great Lakes (in conjunction with Canada) and the Finger Lakes has native lake trout which we also stock. The big thing is keeping the lamprey population in check.

I recently worked on permitting a project to enhance habitat for native Brook Trout for the Nature Conservancy. Brown trout and rainbows are released in the spring in various streams and rivers to supplement the natural reproduction... and keep the fishermen happy and supporting the programs.
