In case you ever wondered about the cost of fish.

 

Largemouth bass- 3 inch fish 1.75 each

6 inch fish 3.50 each

10-12 inch fish 10.00 each

 

Hybrid Bluegill- 3-5 inch fish 1.25 each

 

Adult Bluegill- 4-6 inch fish 1.50 each

 

Channel catfish- 4 inch fish 1.20 each

8 inch fish 1.50 each

 

Fathead minnows- 2 inch 8.50/lb

 

Hybrid white amur (grass carp) 11.00 each

 

Goldfish 6-8 inch 4.00 each

 

It cost some cash to stock a pond, a reason why some land owners don`t want people fishing their ponds. Numbers I have seen are a healthy pond will support 90 bass per surface acre, initial stocking done with a mix of sizes.

Sharper, we have some private hatcheries here, they raise fish for stocking private ponds. They usually have a sale in the spring or in the fall at the farm co-op, if you have a farm co-op in your area they might know. At least one here advertises in our rural electric power magazine also.

 

I think the ones here truck the fish in to the store for the sale in trucks like the bait suppliers use. Usually just a one day sale, and ordering in advance guarantees you get what you want. The ad was in our local newspaper. Lots of farm ponds here.
