Canyoncreek, I purchased the RES from Freshwater Fish Farm in Urbana, OH. Nice people, haven't had any issues. Here is a link to my RES stocking issue. More than confident issue was NOT due to the farm, I will be returning there to get more fish at some point. They are also my supplier for the annual rainbow and brown stockings starting in 2017.

RES Stocking Problems

We have seen a few of the crayfish. I gathered up the dead RES and put them in a minnow trap to see what my crayfish population looks like. I will post what I find in the next few days. The few we did see looked really good.

We haven't seen any fatheads yet but from a previous post it is not uncommon to not see them in a large empty pond.

I don't recall seeing that Free Shipping banner back in March when I ordered my crayfish. What a great deal, something tells me Smith Creek is going to have a run on their crayfish!!! If it was there then I am an idiot.
