Lake and Pond Fish Stocking Solutions
Stocking a lake or pond with forage fish and/or predator fish species is one of the many fisheries management strategies recommended by professionals to help clients grow bigger, healthier fish. However, it’s not always as simple as just adding a few Threadfin Shad, Golden Shiners, Bluegill, or Largemouth Bass to your pond. Understanding the proper species, sizes, and quantity of fish, and the best time of year to stock them, is key to successful fisheries management

When it comes to stocking fish in your lake or pond, the right species makes all the difference…
It’s important to understand how different predator and prey species will play into the balance and development of your fishery.
Not all fish species are suited for all waterbodies. Based on annual water temperature highs and lows, as well as habitat characteristics, fisheries managers can determine the species that will enhance your waterbody most. Whether warm water fish, cool water fish, cold-water fish, or a combination are selected, choosing the proper fish species is crucial for success.
