Is there a standard or "best" form that PB recommends for recording fish species, weight, etc. when sampling a pond? Is it available in a printable pdf?

NChad, I use a spreadsheet in Excel - that way every time I have a better (or different) idea on what/how to record, or add another species of fish, I can just slap in some new columns.
If you are interested in seeing how I have it set up, PM me an e-mail address and I'll send you a copy. It's not elegant, but it works.

I have created a spreadsheet that will also calculate standard weight and % of standard weight. It will also keep track of the weight of bass and crappie removed and catch rate. Send me an PM with you email and I will pass it along. I plan to use it this year for keeping track of fish caught this year.

Just wanted to say thanks to Theo and 12 Acre. Both sent me great excel files they use for tracking fishy stuff. I used aspects from each and compiled a spreadsheet that works best for my purposes. Thanks guys... I'll let you know how things look come open water.

I would be more than happy to send on my modified versions, but I'd need the go ahead from Theo and/or 12 Acre as the intellectual property still belongs to them.
I think if several PB members made modifications/improvements to a spreadsheet, we may be able to design a great starting template for anyone to use. Do the mods have the ability to attach documents in threads? Would this be of value?

I think if one stuck a spreadsheet (or other file) in on-line storage (like I do photos with geocities), one could link to it. I haven't ever tried it, though.
JHAP, I will E-Mail you a copy of mine when I am on the proper 'puter. NChad, it is OK with me if you send Jeff (or anyone else) something based on my spreadsheet.

Chad, don't sweat it. Nothing Theo has is truly intellectual propitty.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Nebraska, forward away. Fill free to pass my spreadsheet to anyone how would like it. It would be nice to be able to post excel files. If anyone can figure it out. Link to a different thread on forms
