Now that I've harvested my trout for the year, and the trout pond has been drained, sterilized, dried, and refilled, it's time to get more stock! I'm getting 100 male only brook trout October 20th from a supplier in Michigan. I'm paying extra for him to sort male only fish with no bad fins. (I volunteered that as I don't have good luck selling the females to taxidermists.) I can also get up to $100.00 a piece, or more -- if they get as large as I hope they do -- so it pays for itself easily.
These fish should not only be in better shape fin wise than my last brook trout supplier, and be all males, but they will only be yearlings compared to the 2 year olds I got from a different source that were much smaller. That means the potential for bigger better fish like these! I'm excited!
I'm back in the stock market!
