| Channel Catfish | 6"-8" are $35.00 per hundred fish 8"-10" are $65.00 per hundred fish Over 10" are $1.50 per pound |
Stock 400-500 6"-8" Catfish to one acre of water. It is fine to stock Catfish in the initial stocking of a pond as long as there are adequate bluegill and minnows stocked at the same time. If fed approximately 3 times a week they will grow to approximately 3/4 of a pound by the end of their first year. |
| Tilapia | Call for current Pricing and Availability. | These fish die when the water reaches 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit and must be restocked every year. They are good to use for forage fish, eating algae and vegetation out of the ponds, and they are good to eat! If using for vegetation control stock 10 pounds to the acre, if using for forage fish stock 20 pounds to the acre. Tilapia can be used in Garden Ponds also to control the algae. Recently, they have been used by local cities for vegetation control and cleaning purposes in the water treatment plants. |
| Northern Largemouth Bass | 4"-6" are $1.50 per fish 6"-8" are $4.00 per fish 1lb.-3lb. are $7.00 per pound 3lb. & up are $8.00 per pound |
Stock 50-75, 4"-6" fish to the acre. We recommend stocking the largemouth bass approximately one year after the initial stocking of bluegill and minnows. This allows the bluegill and minnows to get established so that they are ready to support a good bass population. Our bass are trained to eat a commercial fish feed pellet if you want to supplement them. |

Fathead Minnows(Rosie Reds & Black Tuffies)
|
$7.00 per pound | Stock ten pounds to the acre. These are good to stock to help build a forage base for the other fish in the pond. They play an important role in keeping the other fish fed and healthy. |
| Hybrid Bluegill (Straight Bluegill X Green Sunfish) |
1"-3" are $35.00 per hundred fish 3"-4" are $45.00 per hundred fish 4"-6" are $60.00 per hundred fish 6" and over are $5.50 per pound |
Stock 300 of the 1"-3" size per one acre of water. These fish are approximately 90 % male and are not recommended for the start of a forage base. However, these fish are great to add to a fishing pond and are said to be more aggressive and easier to catch. If properly managed these fish can reach sizes up to 3 pounds! |
| Straight Bluegill | 1"-3" are $35.00 per hundred fish 3"-4" are $45.00 per hundred fish 4"-6" are $60.00 per hundred fish 6" and over are $5.50 per pound |
Stock 500 of the 1"-3" size per one acre of water.
Straight bluegill are an important start of any pond. They are
part of the forage base that will support the game fish and catfish
populations. This stocking rate was made with the assumption that
catfish are to be stocked at the same time. If no catfish are
stocked then more bluegill can be added.
