Tips for Pick Up Day

We recommend preparing for pickup day in advance

Plan to devote the entire morning to safely pick up and transport fish to your pond

 

Fish should be placed in your pond as soon as possible

All sales are final and fish are not guaranteed

Please bring enough containers to hold the fish you ordered

Five-gallon buckets work well or regular size 30-gallon trash cans

1 container per 100 small fish like bass, bluegill, catfish
1 container per 1,000 minnows

1 container per 4-5 large fish like amur and koi

Each container should be filled one-third full of YOUR POND water

Each container should have an unscented trash can liner bag

(such as a regular Glad bag or Hefty bag)

The staff will inject oxygen into the bag to keep the fish alive during transport

Do not use a lid or anything that will puncture the bag

Use a twist tie or twine to close the bag

Please prepare your Vehicle

Customers may be requested to help with loading and unloading your containers

Please be prepared for a long wait time

There are over 65 customers who participated in this year’s sale

We appreciate your patience

Thank you for supporting conservation
