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 Thursday, April 4th, 2024, for a full refund. Orders not picked up on Friday, April 5th, 2023 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 container to ensure better fish survival during transport. The fish, except for catfish, will be put into oxygen filled bags with water. Please bring a 5 gallon bucket for smaller fish. The bags easily fit into the 5 gallon bucket for easy transport. For the larger fish and catfish bring a clean trash can or large container with pond water in it.
