Where to buy bluegill in Austin, TX

[David Slimp]

Hello!

I'm new to this site, but looks like y'all have some GREAT info!

I've got 2 backyard ponds (small by most y'alls size) of

about 1500 gallons each (about 17' x 20' ).

I'm interested in raising some bluegill (or something that will

survive easily here in Austin, TX) .. and I hear bluegill would be

great for the "small" sized ponds I have.

From what I've read so far, it seems like I might be able to get

about 50 of them in 1200 gallons without much of an issue.

Does that sound about right?

However, I've spent ALL day calling pet and feed stores around

here and no one seems to have any for sale!  Does anyone know

a good source for them in Austin?  Or perhaps have a pond of

their own I could draw from to put in mine?

Thanks,

David
