Tips for Pick Up Day

Please bring enough containers to hold the fish you ordered

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

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

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

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

Each container should have a 30-gallon unscented poly liner trash 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

 

The soil and water district recommends preparing for pickup day

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

 

Please prepare your vehicle

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

Fish should be placed in your pond as soon as possible
