District’s Spring Fish Sale
The Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District is sponsoring a
fish sale. There are many types and sizes of fish available; Black Crappie,
Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Albino Catfish, Fathead Minnows, Grass Carp,
Hybrid Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Redear Sunfish. All of the fish are
placed in bags with oxygen so that they are easier to transport to your
pond and the mortality rate of the fish remains low. We suggest that you
bring a 5-gallon bucket to transport the bagged fish.
If you are interested in placing an order to stock your pond, the order forms
may be picked up at the Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation
District office located at 1403 Clayton Ave in Newton or by visiting
www.jaspercountyswcd.com . Please fill out an order form and return it to
the Jasper Co. SWCD office by April 9 th for Grass Carp orders and by April
22nd for all other fish orders. When ordering grass carp include the
section, township and range of where the pond is located and the
approximate pond size. This is so the necessary permits can be processed
for the grass carp.
For more information contact the Jasper Co. SWCD office at 618-783-2319
ext. 3. The fish will be delivered to the Community Center parking lot at
1401 Clayton Ave in Newton on April 29th at 8:00 a.m. Remember the last
date to order grass carp is April 9 th and all other fish is April 22 nd .
