Why Supplemental Feeding Builds a Self-Sustaining Forage Base
A self-sustaining forage base is one of the foundations of any balanced lake and pond management program, and supplemental feeding is one of the simplest ways to build one. An automatic pond fish feeder filled with pellet feed delivers consistent nutrition to many species of forage fish, without anyone hauling a bucket down to the bank every evening. Fish feeders for ponds and lakes give bait fish the edge they need to improve survival and reproduction success, while supplying the food a waterbody needs to support a greater biomass of forage.
Another advantage to using an automatic fish feeder is you get a front row seat to observe fish growth and health. Fish feeders provide great fishing holes for kids or a good place to catch a quick meal, if desired.
SOLitude Lake Management offers a wide range products and fish feeders for ponds, from directional and scatter feeders for large lakes to the popular Koi feeders for smaller ornamental waterbodies. These automatic fish feeders are available in varying capacities and timer capabilities.

A Trophy Bass Perspective on Year-Round Feeding
“The food chain of a healthy fishing lake or pond is a universe of underwater activity – from tiny plankton and insects, to forage fish, to the supreme feisty black bass.
However, the food chain is no stronger than its weakest link. That’s why I use Automatic Fish Feeders to feed my forage fish. I know that when my forage fish are well fed, my bass will be fat, healthy and fast growing.
My automatic fish feeders go off like clockwork, everyday all year round. They are an important part of my food chain and part of my personal management for trophy bass. They have helped me produce an incredible fishery. They can work for you too.”
