Stocking Recommendations

The number of trout your water body can support depends on several factors including size, depth, water temperature, oxygen levels, and available food sources.

As a general guideline, we recommend 50-100 fish per acre for most recreational fishing ponds, but we're happy to discuss your specific situation.

Our Stocking Process

We take fish stocking seriously. Our process ensures the highest survival rates and the healthiest fish for your water body:

Preparation - Fish are held in clean, oxygenated water and fasted for 24 hours before transport to reduce stress.

Transportation - We use specialized, oxygenated transport tanks that maintain optimal water temperature and quality during delivery.

Release - Fish are gently released into your water body with care to ensure the best possible start.
