Students from the John F. Kennedy Elementary and Curley K-8 Schools in the city helped Gov. Maura Healey and other officials release of more than 1,000 trout into Jamaica Pond Thursday. It’s an annual rite of spring.

The spring stocking included approximately 800 rainbow trout averaging 14 inches long, 25 brook trout and 65 brown trout averaging 18 inches long, and 170 tiger trout, a cross between a female brown trout and a male brook trout, averaging 14 inches long.
