At Fender’s Fish Hatchery, Spring is our busiest time of year. As the water warms up, we begin the process of opening the Hatchery and preparing thousands of fish for ...ponds all across Ohio and the Midwest.

In this video, we take you behind the scenes of what it really takes to get ready for spring stocking season. You’ll see how we seine our ponds to harvest fish, how we sort and restock fish for our customers, and what goes into making sure those fish stay healthy from our farm to your pond. We also share a look at Steve’s pond clinics, where we help pond owners better understand how to manage and improve their ponds.

If you own a pond or are planning to stock one this year, this is the time to start preparing. As we head into spring, Steve also covers a few important tips to help prevent fish kills, including managing oxygen levels, watching out for Bacterial Gill Disease and how to deal with it, and making sure your pond is ready for the seasonal transition.

Whether you’re a landowner, fisherman, or just interested in fish farming, this video gives you a real look at life on a working fish hatchery during the spring rush.
