Fingerling Fish Sale
Fish Delivery
Those purchasing fish will need to bring their own containers filled with fresh pond water. A five-gallon bucket will transport 100 fingerling fish, while a 20-gallon garbage can is needed to handle up to 10 white amur. Each container needs to be lined with a clean garbage bag which will be tied shut and injected with oxygen for those traveling longer distances. This will ensure that the fish will be in good condition when released into the pond. Those purchasing fish should plan on transporting them directly to the pond without delay. Deadline for ordering fish is May 8, 2023 by 4:30pm. Pickup is Tuesday, May 16, 2022 from 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM at the District Office located at 1870 Slabtown Road.
Bluegill

Adults feed on insects, snails, small crayfish and fish eggs. Bluegills can grow to six inches in two to four years if provided enough food and space and some have even grown over 10”.

Hybrid Bluegill
Hybrid Bluegill are a cross between a male bluegill and female green sunfish. This cross produces a fish with the large mouth of the sunfish and the aggressiveness of the bluegill, which enables the fish to grow faster and larger than common bream. It will feed on a commercial feed with annual growth rates of up to ½ – ¾ pounds per season. With a good management these fish can reach weights of 2-2 ½ pounds.
