We're shipping fish right now but have a very limited selection due to the fact that we're still selling last year's stock. We're currently working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to collect more fish, but are unable to do so yet. If you'd like to be notified when we have more fish in stock, please send us an email to get on our email notification list. Our email for that list is: newsletter@btdarters.com. Thanks for your interest and we hope to be able to serve you again soon!

Collector's Choice� is a deal where you purchase a box of fish for a flat fee ($40.00 USD). The fish you get in the box is determined by the collector. It is essentially a grab-bag. You can request what kind of fish you want, but because the fish shipped depends on what was collected, we cannot guarantee that you will get the fish you requested. There are approximately 12 fish to a box. The value of the fish in the box is guaranteed to exceed the purchase price. Location Verification can be purchased for all of the fish in the box for a flat fee of $15.00 USD. Standard shipping charges apply.	NCA	--
