Our Services
Shop Our Fish
Add new life to your lake or pond with native fish species raised in our Ohio fish hatchery. We offer live fish delivery for qualifying orders, farm pick up, or fish day pick up. Our biologists will help you select the best species, sizes and quantities for your lake or pond.

Avoid the hassle of picking up and hauling fish. Live fish delivery directly to your pond or lake is available on all fish sold by Jones Lake Management. At delivery, our biologists will acclimate your fish to the water temperature and stock them into their new environment.
Fish Days
Our regularly scheduled Fish Days make it easy to get the fish you need. With no order minimums, you can pick up your preordered fish safely packed for transport to your pond or lake. It’s a convenient, fun way to get the entire family involved in the future of your water.
Fisheries Management Services
Fish populations aren’t static—they’re dynamic systems that shift over time due to natural reproduction, predation, forage availability, and environmental changes. That’s why we recommend reassessing your fishery every few years. Based on your fishery’s condition and goals, we’ll develop a customized stocking strategy.
Fish Population Survey Service
Fish population surveys provide valuable information about the fish species, abundance, and size distribution in your lake. Our surveys help assess the health of the fishery and create data-driven management strategies for maintaining a balanced and thriving fish population.
Fish Habitat Installation Service
Habitat installation is crucial for promoting a healthy fish population. We design and install fish habitats to provide shelter, food sources, and breeding grounds for fish. These habitats contribute to a sustainable and healthy fish population.
