Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Zetts Fish hatchery in WV

Does anyone know if Zetts Fish Hatchery sells walleye fry or fingerlings?

Thank you

Hey it looks like Zetts ships adult bullfrogs....
I may call them Monday.
Gambusia I don't see walleye listed.

Zetts Catalog

Sometimes they have walleye fingerlings. The almost always have LMB, BG, RES, CC, and koi. Their stock on other fish, like SMB, yellow perch, and crappie vary. Call and ask for Katherine. She will make sure your order gets processed properly.

As for bull frogs, they should have plenty. We've got a bumper crop of All frogs this year. Every ditch and pothole produced this season, as the rains have kept them filled.

There is also a "Zett's" hatchery in Drifting, PA.

Surely they must have some association, but the catalogs are different.

They are supposed to have walleye also, but you really need to call them on the phone.

Last spring when I went there, I gave them a stack of old PB issues, so perhaps mention PB if you call them, just to help out PB.

Thank you very much for the info

I will call them

The Zetts in my area (Inwood/Gerrardstown/Greater Martinsburg, WV - wherever) and the Zetts in PA are closely related -- but they are totally different businesses that collaborate at times. The respective owners are cousins -- their father's started the business many years ago.

I don't know much about the Zetts in PA. I buy a lot of fish from the local Zetts in Inwood -- but don't use my name. I wouldn't even use the Pond Boss name. They think I'm from the government (I've been an officer in the WV Aquaculture Association for many years, and I've volunteered with the West Virginia Aquaculture Extension Service for many years, and lots of times they see me in a Pond Boss hat or jacket, so they look at me as "the enemy.") Andrew Zetts bends my ear ever chance he gets, but he is actually a pretty good guy. His wife Katherine has much better customer service manners. I will say that they are always nice to me when I go in, but...

In general, they are very good people. They try hard, in a very difficult business.

They aren't perfect, and some of their help is even less perfect. If you go there in person, carefully inspect what they have bagged for you. In general, they do a great job of packaging. In general, they provide very good fish -- just not always. But, in their defense, I will say they try very hard, and I'd hate to lose them. They are one of the bigger suppliers in the area. Actually, they are one of the few suppliers in the area.

We almost lost them in the last real estate boom. They have a lot of prime property that is surrounded by development.

I will call both and see what they say.

Thanks!

I knew of the one in PA but not WV. I was looking at the online at the one in WV and they sell some bacterial treatment in gallon jugs that is supposed to work to cut down sludge in your pond. Anyone ever try iy?
