Due to the popularity of its spring fish sale, the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District has decided to hold a Fall Fingerling Fish Sale and is accepting orders until Tuesday, September 10.  

Thanks in part to the crisp autumn air, fall is a fantastic time to introduce any new  species of fish or boost the population of a pond. Not only do the cool water temperatures help reduce stress on the fish, it also makes for a quicker  adjustment to a pond’s environment.
