Try contacting Rainman on this forum. Also, your county agent might be able to help with a source.

Rainman (Rex) is an active member of this forum. He's a good guy, he should be able to help you, or know someone that can. He's been able to find me fish that are pretty unique in this part of the country. I'll send you a pm with some information on how to get in touch with him.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

I guess as a last resort you could contact these folks and see what they can do.

Blue Channel Catfish shipped nationwide

They are probably just channel catfish. Price is too high also.

Small BC are easy to catch if there is a large river nearby.

true...or they might be a hybrid cross between a blue and a channel catfish

the blue catfish is the largest freshwater sport fish found in Texas.

That looks very promising... but it says channel blue... not blue cats... do they sell pure blue catfish?

Thanks for your help

Not sure big_pond. It does look like they are probably channel blue.

If you plan on attending the Pond Boss Conference this Fall you could drop by Overton's who sell Blue Catfish, but I guess it would be a question as to whether they could survive such a long drive back to Georgia.

Have you contacted Greg Grimes?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
