Six miles from city hall: trout

posted Mar 31, 2010


Who knew: Six Mile Waterworks in Albany contains largemouth bass, sunfish, yellow perch, chain pickerel, brown bullhead and rainbow trout, according to DEC. The state will be stocking the waterway with 2,000 more "catchable size" rainbow trout Thursday .

By the way: the "Six Mile Waterworks" name comes from the fact that the Patroon Creek was dammed six miles from Albany city hall.
