A Fish by any other Name

Sept. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- FERNDALE, NY – The brown trout featured in the logo promoting Roscoe, NY as the Ultimate Fishing Town has a name.  After a month long contest to “Name the Fish”, with over a hundred entries, the name chosen is “Hatch”.  Fifteen judges were given the entries without knowing who had submitted them.  With a final vote from the judges, the name Hatch inched out Caster by one vote.

The lucky winner is Everett Kunz, a 14 year old young man from Roscoe who is a real fan of fishing.  Hatch was announced at the recent Roscoe Fall Festival and Everett received a basket of prizes including a painting by Jack Yelle, fishing reel from the World Fishing Network, fishing lures from the Dette’s Shop and an assortment of other goodies.

Roscoe is proud of its World Fishing Town, USA designation after competing against other fishing destinations throughout the United States earlier this year.  It came down to the final day of competition, with the entire County of Sullivan and it supporters voting to edge out Waddington, NY and win the award.  

Roscoe, the Sullivan County Catskills and Hatch again would like to thank everyone who participated in the vote and the contest and especially Everett for his entry.
