Beginning a trout fish farm from an aquarium

If you’re a fisherman at heart, you probably still remember your very first catch. For most anglers, it is nearly impossible to forget. First catches conjure up the robust and vivid details of some very unforgettable memories. Memories born of the hard-earned rewards, which few outdoor experiences can rival. I can still remember my first catch like it was yesterday. It was a medium sized trout. This was no ordinary catch, it was more like a quick rite of passage into the wonderful world of fishing. When a friend invited me along on a Saturday morning fishing trip, I didn’t hesitate, not even for a moment, to accept the invitation. What can I say? I was game from the start!

Back then, I knew nothing of fish farms, but I soon discovered that a fish farm could provide a quick, introductory lesson,  before diving full-fledged into formal fishing lessons. Buck Snort Trout Ranch, a commercial fish farm located right outside of Nashville, TN, made that introduction possible.

To learn more about Buck Snort Trout Ranch commercial fish farm and how it got its name.

That Saturday morning when we arrived on Buck Snort Trout Ranch, there were plenty of good-sized trout jumping. Although the owner explained that since it was spawning season, the fish would likely be more interested in their spawning activity, rather than taking to the bait. But take to the bait the trout did! One after another, the trout leaped high. Charmed by the lure of the bait, I lowered my line into the active stream, and one after another, I pulled out what contributed to our best catch of the day! Obviously, I realized that future catches, beyond the confines of a fish farm, would probably not be caught as easily. Yet, I appreciated the chance encounter of catching trout from a fish farm, that Saturday morning of my first fishing trip!

Imagine designating a plot of land on your homestead property and transforming it into a viable fish farm. After the initial cost and labor of setting up the fish farm, it can provide your family with a high quality source of protein for years. The fish provided may be caught and eaten fresh, stored/preserved or kept frozen for later consumption. Trout fish farmers offer restaurants and families a constant supply of healthy, delicious fish year-round. Buck Snort Trout Ranch supplies local Nashville area restaurants with fresh trout. Trout has become a prime, featured ingredient in many of the culinary creations found on popular local menus.
