State officials, Jamaica Plain schoolchildren, politicians and other community members gathered at Jamaica Pond Thursday morning for the annual stocking of trout for springtime fishing.
Governor Charlie Baker shared a video of school kids getting a hands-on education during a fishy field trip.

Jamaica Plain City Councilor Matt O’Malley got in on the action at one of his favorite community events.

It is not known whether Gov. Baker took his clothes to a local dry cleaner afterwards…
So much fun joining @MattBeatonEEA, @MassDFG, the local delegation & especially the kids for today’s trout stocking. https://t.co/p8B0ZCkDzC pic.twitter.com/9CT6wA8Hrj

State Rep. Liz Malia (D-Jamaica Plain) helped a few Curley School students get involved.

O’Malley shared several photos, including the bottom right one that includes state Sen. Sonia Chang Diaz (D-Boston) in some fancy waders — probably not the kind of garb she sports at the State House.
