District’s Fall Fish Sale
The Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District is sponsoring a
fish sale. There are many types and sizes of fish available; Bluegill,
Channel Catfish, Fathead Minnows, Grass Carp, Hybrid Sunfish,
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 September 20th for Grass Carp orders and
September 27th 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 on
October 5th at 1:00 p.m. Remember the last day to order grass carp is
September 20th and all other fish is September 27th.
