OSWEGO, N.Y. -- It was quite a site Friday morning at the Oswego Harbor. Sixty thousand fish were dumped into the water for fishing season. Every year, the state DEC releases fish into pens in the harbor as part of an enhanced stocking program.

The small trout and salmon are fed and taken care of by volunteers from the Eastern Lake Ontario Salmon and Trout Association before being let loose.

"It's important for this fishery. This fishery is a big big industry in New York State and a big industry in Oswego County,” said Jerry Bresadola, ELOSTA director.

The project is now in its tenth year and the project received a $1,000 boost Friday Brookfield Power and the Oswego County Pro-Am tournament.
