The district now offers two fish sales a year with one in the Spring and one in the Fall. Each sale provides a different assortment of fish along with fish food and pond supplies (Spring only). When purchasing fish please be sure to apply for the appropriate stocking permits that are required by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. The links to these applications can be found below. When picking up your fish they will be packaged in oxygen injected bags and placed in boxes for easy transportation.
The order form for the 2018 Spring sale is now available. Follow the link below to view the sale and to print out an order form.
