I would like some suggestions on a reputable fish supplier for our 2013 spring stocking at our local club lake in NE IL. Nothing too special going to be ordered this time around however we have been less than thrilled with the outfit we have been using in the past. Fish have been small, counts questionable and other species were found last year in the tank we were not thrilled about. Given we may only be stocking channel cats & trout, along with a possible forage species I am more concerned with quality than quantity. Talapia may be another consideration along with a couple grass carp if funds allows.
We have already implemented a cull slot on the stunted bass population, added numerous structures, better feed, dealt with an elodea problem we've had for numerous years and will be putting in bottom aeration within the month. We are also scheduled to shock the lake this fall which hasn't been done in over 25 years. We are on our way to improving our fishery and I'd like to keep it pointing in that direction with the best fish possible.
Thanks for any fish source suggestions (good or bad) that any of you may have. Feel free to mesage me privately if you wish.
