Watch Veterans' Park Fishing Pond Be Restocked

So here I was, driving down Veterans Memorial Drive, when I spied a big 'ol tanker truck in front of me with a "Mason Valley Hatchery" logo on the back.

When he turned up Buchanan toward the fishing pond, I started stalking him to get you some NEAT video of the pond being restocked with fish!

You'll see from the video that he pulls right up, attaches a large tube and proceeds to drop 2 tanks (1,500 rainbow trout in each) right in.

Each year, we receive about 18,000 rainbow trout from Mason Valley Hatchery, which is located in Yerington, NV - a 400-mile one-way drive for this gentleman - yikes, that's a long way!
