It's being sponsored by The Nine Mile Creek Conservation Committee.

Volunteers are needed for an upcoming float box trout stocking event scheduled for May 8 on Nine Mile Creek.

The stocking is being hosted by The Nine Mile Creek Conservation Committee and the fish will be provided by the Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery.

The fish are put in float boxes, paddled downstream and released. Canoeists, kayakers and shore volunteers are needed to help distribute trout along Nine Mile Creek from Camillus to the Erie Canal. Meet at Munro Park in Camillus at 5 p.m.

"This is the only Nine Mile Creek float stocking event." Morse said. " I passed a lot of fisherman last weekend as I scouted the creek for downed trees that will need to be removed prior to the stocking event. "I have fished and kayaked the creek often."
