One of the joys of rural life is an evening at the farm pond with the kids or grand kids fishing, whether for everybody’s favorite panfish the bluegill or America’s game fish the large mouth bass. Perhaps you would like to fly-cast for rainbow trout or maybe an old fashion fish fry of channel catfish. The Susquehanna County Conservation District would like to help these dreams by sponsoring a sale of fish for stocking on May 22, 2016.

The District is offering bluegill sunfish, channel catfish, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, fathead minnows, triploid grass carp and ornamental koi. Most of the species are 4 to 6 inches so if you are stocking a pond with other fish in them they will not just be feed for the fish already there.

We are also selling fathead minnows which are meant to be forage for predatory fish such as bass and catfish. They will increase the growth rate and final size of these fish. The triploid grass carp are stocked to control weeds in ponds. These fish are 11 to 15 inches long and require a permit from the PA Fish and Boat Commission to buy and release. The permit is available on our website. Koi are available from 4” to 18” for garden ponds and as ornamental fish in other ponds where they can be hand fed.

All these fish will be delivered to the Conservation District on May 22nd at 1:00 pm. They come in a container of water and pure oxygen which can be loaded in any vehicle for the ride to their new home. This replaces the need for the buyer bringing milk cans or garbage cans of water from home and dumping the fish in them with a resulting decrease in fish survival.
