Pick Up Info
Fingerlings must be picked up at the Pickaway County Fairgrounds, Hog Barn (enter from Lancaster Pike entrance by Ankrom Building) on ​March 27 between 10 and 11 a.m. Fish are guaranteed to be delivered in good condition, however, we cannot guarantee survival after being picked up.
  • Bring a 10-20 gallon garbage can or 5 gallon bucket to hold your fish.
  • Line container with non-deodorized plastic liner (30 gallon trash bag). This will be filled with oxygen so fish can breathe!
