TROUT SALES
The 2025 trout sale is live
Why buy and stock brook and rainbow trout? Landowners and managers may stock trout for a variety of reasons:
Fishing recreation: Create and maintain fish opportunities
Land management: Balancing an ecosystem
Property value: A stocked pond can add to your home value
Ecological benefits: Helps with invasive species and water quality
You must have a valid stocking permit when ordering, and you must have the permit with you to pick up the fish. Stocking Permits are issued by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in Augusta. IFW charges $10.00 for a 5-year permit. Applications for the permit are available online and at the our office. Call 474-8323 x 4; we are happy to assist you with your permit and stocking questions.
Brook Trout are sourced from Mi'kmaq Farms & Fish Hatchery in Caribou. Rainbow Trout are sourced from Spectrum Trout of Paris, Maine. All sales are pre-order only.
New this year! You can now add fish food to your trout order.
