Brook trout
are available most of the year, with sizes ranging from 4 to 10
inches. We recommend stocking in spring or fall for best survival.
Orders can be picked-up at the hatchery or delivered to your pond.
Mountain Springs maintains
its' own brood-fish program. Breeders are hand selected in order
to obtain the best traits, such as growth, color, and disease resistance.
Routine screening for diseases takes place during all aspects of
growth such as spawning, and continues throughout the life cycle
until fish leave the hatchery. Screening is conducted by qualified
fish health labs, and we continually test at levels that exceed
government mandated minimum requirements.

In recent
years, Mountain Springs has taken a proactive approach toward environmental
stewardship. The very nature of our business requires us to be provide
our fish with the best possible conditions; one is clean water.
With that in mind, we
have taken steps to protect the environment around us by implementing
best management practices, installing effluent treatment systems,
such as in tank solids removal, vegetated ditches, and settling
ponds.
