He said they were known as the 'northern crayfish' and left it at that. He didnt know the scientific name.

Hindsight is always 20/10 and I probably should've received confirmation before stocking.

Do you know if anybody here has had issues with Hartley Fish Farm?

Thanks

I've bought fish from Hartley's for years for a few community ponds out my way and I've dealt mainly with Bill..
I just stocked my personal pond this summer and I bought my Redear and smallmouth from them. I asked for 175 Redear and 60 SMB...after getting my fish home (5hrs) I began sorting and found I had 11 Black crappie and 27 Bluegill mixed in with my Redear. Beings my target predator is SMB, crappie and bluegill don't play well in my case. I found in my trap net samples last week that a few got by.. I pulled another few bluegill and 2 more Black crappie. A guy has to pay attention, and I have to take full responsibility for the issue but I did not get what I paid for.
