Cold-Water Predator — Delivered Fast and Controlled

This listing includes one complete box of 40 rainbow trout (3–5"), professionally packed in oxygenated bags and shipped overnight for minimal transit stress.

Each unit equals one sealed shipment. This format is ideal for pond owners who want manageable trout numbers without coordinating bulk truck delivery.

Why the 3–5" Size Class?

At 3–5 inches, rainbow trout are:

• Actively feeding and acclimated beyond fry stage

• Hardy enough for transport

• Ideal for seasonal trout programs

• Highly responsive to high-protein feed

This size class allows you to introduce trout efficiently while maintaining strong survival when water conditions are appropriate.

Ideal Use Cases

• Seasonal winter trout programs

• Supplemental predator stocking

• Youth fishing events

• Small acreage cold-water ponds

• RAS grow-out systems

Rainbow trout require cool, oxygen-rich water. This product is best suited for systems capable of maintaining proper temperature and dissolved oxygen levels.

Shipping & Handling

Fish are:

• Bagged with pure oxygen

• Insulated for thermal stability

• Shipped overnight to reduce stress

Tracking information is provided once labels are printed, and delivery timing is coordinated to ensure proper receipt.

On Arrival

1. Float the bag to equalize temperature.

2. Gradually temper if needed.

3. Release into deeper, cooler water zones.

Trout are active swimmers and typically resume normal behavior quickly once acclimated.

Management Notes

Rainbow trout thrive when:

• Water temperatures remain cool

• Dissolved oxygen is strong and stable

• High-protein feed (45–48%) is offered

They provide fast growth, strong fight on the line, and are ideal for cold-season angling programs.
