The goal here is to make stocking your pond as easy as possible. Below are standard stocking packages for ponds in Wisconsin and Illinois that are either new or low on fish. These packages include average stocking sized fish in a combination that creates a rapidly growing population that becomes self-sustaining.
Please be aware that this is rough info. Ideally you should discuss your situation with one of our biologists and let us come up with a plan specifically for you. But hey, if you want to stock the fish and be done with it, we get it!
So, if your pond or lake is in Wisconsin or Illinois and you want to stock, email us at info@keystonehatcheries.com with what you want, and we will get the ball rolling!
