Fish can be picked up by appointment or they can be delivered on one of our route trucks depending on order size and location.
We also have different sizes available depending on the time of year.
Game fish can be stocked April through June and again in September and October. The best availability of game fish is in the fall September through October.
We raise Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Straight Bluegill, Hybrid Bluegill, Perch, Black Crappie, and Channel Catfish.
All Forage is stocked in the spring and in the fall.
If you wish to purchase forage for an existing pond, you will still need a fish farm registration, stocking permit or general permit.
Average life span: 18 months
Average Mature Length: 3 inches
Fathead minnows can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures. Any pond size will be sufficient for fatheads.
They will spawn 2-3 times per year when the water temperatures reach 60 degrees or warmer. They are very prolific breeders; each pair will produce thousands of offspring.
Fatheads are an excellent forage option for all fish.
Average Life Span: 2-4 years
Average Mature Length: 4-6 inches
Shiners can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures.
They will spawn once per year when the water temperatures reach 60 degrees or warmer.
They feed on zooplankton and insects.
They are a good forage option for predator fish such as walleye, bass, northern, and musky.
Average Life Span: 6-8 years
Average Mature Length: 14-16 inches
Suckers do well in warm/cool water, however they prefer cooler water.
They will spawn once per year when water temperatures reach 45 degrees or warmer. Suckers have a fair survival reproduction rate.
Suckers are bottom feeders so they help to control the algae.
Suckers are an excellent forage option for a body of water with musky or northern pike.
Dry feed comes as floating or sinking and there are several sizes available.
Feed 1-3% of the body weight daily at approximately the same time each day. Be careful not to overfeed which can be detrimental to the water quality.
Commercial Dry feed is a good feed option for Hybrid Bluegills, Straight Bluegills, Perch, and Catfish.
