Description

Tune in as Erin continues her series of exploring farming in the Catskills and learn about Sherrys fish farming operation and how she was introduced to this way of life through family tradition. Learn more about water quality, trout species, egg harvesting, and life as a fish farmer. This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards and Sons. Good water is the key to the whole hatchery... everything we do here is controlled by nature. Once you hook a brown trout, it will be a while before you hook it again. --Sherry Shaver of Beaverkill Trout Hatchery on The Farm Report.
