Zett's does like to come up with creative names for their fish...
Zetts has come up several times in this thread, and others.
I don't know the Zetts family very well, but I've bought a lot of fish from them over many years.
I do know that Andrew Zetts, and extended family, are very sincere and hardworking people. I love what they do.
Even with their issues, the Zetts are certainly one of the best and most important pond suppliers in the mid-Atlantic area.
They provide fishing enjoyment to thousands in their many ponds, and they provide fun and educational summer employment to many local youngsters.
I have no connection to them, except as a customer.
Nobody is perfect. As an old friend says, everybody fits under the bell curve until you get to know them.
Yes, sometimes "creative" does describe them, and their catalog is fun to read.
Unfortunately, when real estate prices come back, we will lose Zetts. We almost lost them a few years ago, and thankfully for the mid-Atlantic pond owners, real estate crashed.
I don't know of any supplier within several hundred miles who can easily replace them. Our only alternative will be the fish trucks from a long-long ways away.
Anyone who has a chance to visit Zetts would have an enjoyable day. I hope Mr and Mrs Zetts will advertise here one day, and that they will stay in business as long as I have a pond (they are my age).
