Once at the pond, the fish are transported to the water and acclimated by our delivery crew. Fish are measured by total length from closed mouth to pinched tail. Before delivery, they are counted by hand or weighed on certified scales.

Pricing 
All fish orders of more than $500 within our standard delivery area are eligible for live delivery to your body of water. Our delivery fee for qualifying orders is $59. Other goods and services cannot be added to an order to reach the $500 minimum required for delivery. Fish orders under $500 or outside our standard delivery area will incur a minimum $250 delivery fee. Note that during peak delivery season, our lead time averages four weeks. In a typical year, our spring delivery season begins in early March. Fish deliveries are suspended during the summer months and resume in mid-September.

Current Status: We are now accepting Fall 2026 orders only. Due to high summer temperatures posing a risk to fish health during transport, we have paused fish deliveries for the remainder of the summer season. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to delivering your order this fall.

Order Confirmation and Payment Information 
Once an order has been placed, our team will email you a confirmation of your order and an estimated delivery lead time. You will be contacted by phone or email approximately one week before your tentatively scheduled delivery. At this time, you will be given a date and two-hour window for delivery. Our team will verify your order and answer any questions you may have about your upcoming delivery. You can email fishdeliveries@joneslakemanagement.com for more information.
