Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Would bluegill spawn in a fish cage?

Trying to get those fry to stay in those cedars would be like trying to herd cats. My pond is ringed with BG fry - even in places without sufficient cover. BG are prodigious breeders because they are meant to be "food for the world", as I call it. That means they need to be just dumb enough to feed the rest of the fish without being too dumb to get themselves wiped out.

Sounds like stocking adult BG with proper cover would give you a better shot.
