Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose hatchery reference

Can anyone provide a reference for Jones Fish Hatchery located in Newtown, Ohio?

I quote my previous post on Jones Fish, from the topic "Fish from Jones Hatchery, Ohio?" in the Questions and Observations section, circa February 21 (everything I said then still stands):

"We got all our fish from Jones Fish, in two different orders and three different deliveries. They sold us Golden Shiners, Fatheads, and Bullfrog Tadpoles in 2003 and Redears, Bluegills, Hybrid Bluegills, Grass Carp, Channel Cats, and Largemouth Bass in 2004. All the fish arrived healthy and "as-advertised" as far as size. I believe the quantities were all in order as well, but that's kind of hard to check closely with 200 fingerlings in a 5 gallon bucket.

"All the fish (and the frogs) have done well, with the exception of the Fatheads which I think have been (predictably) eliminated. Bret, who handled all our deliveries, was very nice to deal with and very knowledgeable (according to their website, Jonesfish.com, Bret and most of their staff have at minimum a Bachelors in Fisheries Management or Biology). Prices were as advertised; they will deliver fish orders over $150 free. The showed up on the days they said they were going to show up and were conscientious about how we got the fish to the pond (it's too wet in the Spring to drive there at our place, the fish went down in buckets by hand or on a platform on my tractor). I'm pretty sure that western PA is in their delivery area.

"The only irregularity was one Hybrid Striped Bass that showed up sometime in the 2004 deliveries (I assume mixed in with the LMB) - and my daughter, who caught the HSB in late 2004 at 10 1/2 inches, wishes that this mistake had occurred multiple times. I will definitely get fish from them again, assuming they stock whatever I am looking for at the time.

Theo: Thank you for the reference!
