Winter

As soon as the water temperature reaches 22°C, we stock the dams with trout. Depending on Mother Nature this season is normally from April to October.

We try to get different species of trout every year. We have been fortunate to stocked Rainbow, Golden, Brown, and Red trout in the past.

Summer

As soon as the water temperature reaches 25°C, we stock the dams with red-breasted and blue tilapia. Depending on Mother Nature this season is from November to March.
Carp – is available all year round
Bass – as soon as their spawning season is over, they start biting.
Catfish – as soon as the water conditions are right and they wake from their lazy winter slumber, they start biting.
