Trout stocking sale underway

Mon, 02/23/2015 - 8:45am

    Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District is once again sponsoring an annual trout stocking sale for your home or farm pond. We offer rainbow and brook trout from Mountain Spring Hatchery in two sizes, 5-6 inches and 6-7 inches, as well as Floating Trout Food in 44-pound bags and Clear Pond, a non-toxic bacterial treatment to reduce phosphorous and control algae.

    Fish orders may be split between species and sizes to meet the 50 fish minimum. All orders must be accompanied by a current stocking permit from the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Permit applications and trout order forms are available on the Knox-Lincoln SWCD website at www.knox-lincoln.org/trout-sale or contact us to receive one by mail.

    Pre-order deadline is April 29 for pick-up at noon on Sunday, May 2 at Union Fairgrounds. For more information, visit www.knox-lincoln.org/trout-sale, or call 207-596-2040.
