We all know the phrase and organization "Take a Kid Fishing" how about "Take a Kid Stocking."
Beside taking my boy's fishing I also take them to stock trout. While we have good hold over and native populations the realty is we have to stock our waters.
Stocking is fun and teaches them stewardship and it's a great way to spend a few hours with your kids. Make sure if you do this to bring a change of cloths, because the trout are not the only creatures that end up in the river. This time my boys stayed dry.
Here is my youngest stocking some trout in a unnamed New Jersey river.

Ayu zu "River Trout" by Utagawa Hiroshige
Here is a Japanese color wood cut by Utagawa Hiroshige (1842 - 1894) some time between 1868 and 1894. The original measure 9.6 x 10.8 cm. I found this print in the Library of Congress digital collection while I was doing some of my Tenkara research. I'd clean it up a little but I didn't go as far as to remove what looks like a fold (the blueish line left of the chop).
Enjoy
