Location  Marion Lake Fish Stocking

Where:  Marion Lake, Mt Jefferson Wilderness

 

 This was the annual Volunteer Fish Stocking of Marion Lake put on by the Marion Forks Fish Hatchery. Volunteers show up at the Marion Lake Trailhead and pack in a 35lb bucket of small fry to Marion Lake. First buckets are filled with water and ice and then fish fry of a couple inches long are added to the bucket, then the buckets are stuffed into backpacks and packed up the trail 2 ½ miles to Marion Lake.

This was the third year for Jeanette and I to participate in the fun event. This year we took along friends Mike Garrison and Dan Lawry
