Live Fish for Ponds

We have live rainbow trout available for stocking ponds in spring and fall each year.

We are open Fridays and Saturdays from 9am – 12pm. Pick-ups are by appointment only.

Adding trout to your pond can be fun for:

  • Catching with your fishing pole
  • Controlling minnows, leeches and bugs
  • Becoming family pets

We recommend your pond by 10 – 12 feet deep, have some natural flora and fauna, and the colder the better. We recommend introducing fish in the spring or fall.

The trout can forage for their own feed, but they put on quite a show jumping at the surface if you throw some feed in too!

How it Works:
  • Make an appointment and pick up your fish on Friday or Saturday mornings.
  • We can loan you a tote (pictured – 5′x3′x2′) that fits in a truck or trailer. It comes with an aerator, battery and fish net. Fish will be okay for up to 2 hours, depending on how many we put in.
  • Unload your fish and return the tote.

* We can also put your fish in special bags for an extra fee ($20/bag for ~8 fish, depending on size and travel distance)

Prices for 2024:
  • 4 – 6″ fish – $2/fish
  • 6 – 8″ fish – $3/fish
  • 8 – 10″ fish – $4/fish
  • 10 – 12″ fish – $5/fish
  • 12 – 14″ fish – $6/fish
  • 14 – 16″ fish – $8/fish
  • Add an 18kg bag of feed for $65.

Not all sizes are always available, so we recommend contacting us to discuss your needs.
