Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Advice on DNR fingerlings Vs. stocking larger fish

My neighbor got little minnows not fingerlings from the DNR. I am sure the DNR made money off that little deal. He even had to go meet the fish guy 20 miles away. I learned from his experience and got them from the grain elevator.

In my opinion paying $50 for 1200 little minnows would be a ripoff. I also think that is a myth about the DNR owning the fish or something. Maybe it would be true if they were giving them away for free.
