Plan before you stock

For an Illinois pond, describe your fishing goals, pond size, seasonal water conditions, and current bass and forage population. Identify unwanted plants before selecting a vegetation-control method, and explain any connection to other waters when requesting stocking advice.

Lake Master Pros brings 25 years of pond and lake experience to your questions. Call Bill at (800) 433-2950 with your pond size, location, current fish, and fishing goals.

Check stocking and shipping requirements

Illinois has approved-species and fish transportation requirements, including a Restricted Species Transportation Permit process for triploid grass carp. Ask Illinois DNR and the supplier to verify the species, fish health documentation, and permits that apply to your shipment and pond.
