Any ideas on stocking sources for either pumpkinseed or RES?


I bought my RES from Imlay City Fish Farms in MI but they sourced them from the south. They made it through 2 winters but I don't know if they made it through last winter, it was a tough one. I'm not sure anything made it. If my RES made it I'll assume everything did. I had planned on fishing this week to check it out but I've been so busy and I have to remember to keep the dogs out of the pond if I plan to fish that day and that hasn't happened, lol. I'll let you know when I find out.
