Fish Sale Information:
REFUND POLICY: In the event you are unable to pick up your order, please call to notify the District office by Noon on Wednesday,
April 2nd, 2025, for a full refund. Orders not picked up on Friday,
April 4th , 2025 will not be refunded.
About Triploid Grass Carp: This fish is used for biological weed control and takes approximately two years to provide good control. Stocking rates are based on percentage of weed cover and size of pond. If your pond has weed cover of 20-40%, 5 Triploid Carp per lake acres should be stocked; 40-60% weed cover, 10 Triploid Carp per lake acres are recommended. Ponds must have an area that is 7-10’ deep for the fish to overwinter. The Grass Carp is sterile and will not reproduce. Pond location information (County, Township, Section) must be filled out on the order form as Andry’s Fish Farm must apply for a permit from IDNR.
When picking up fish: We ask everyone to bring some type of empty container to ensure better fish survival during transport. The fish will be put into oxygen filled bags with water. A 5-gallon bucket is ideal - the bags fit right inside.
