Pond Fish and Pond Fish Food
(Fish Propagators)
|
To stock pond fish, we recommend that you buy fish from a licensed fish propagator. This is the easiest, most economical method, and you are guaranteed the correct size, numbers, and species of fish(es) you request.
The following is a list of propagators by county. The available fishes are included. These species are recommended for stocking into small impoundments in Ohio and are consistent with the Ohio Pond Management Journal (1.4 MB). Using these fish should insure years of quality fishing with proper management. The following propagators are listed alphabetically by county. (LMB - Largemouth Bass, BLG - Bluegill, CCF - Channel Catfish, RDE - Redear Sunfish, MIN - Fathead Minnow, GRC - Grass Carp/White Amur, RBT - Rainbow Trout, HBG - Hybrid Bluegill)
