they just finished building my pond in eastern north carolina.my pond is about .75 acres and has an average depth of 10 feet deep.what kind of structure would you recommend for this size pond. i am going to stock my pond with native bluegill, channel catfish, and large mouth bass. thanks for any help you can give me.
Make sure you first have pH and other levels tested. Then stock with food chain fish like fathead minnows and small bluegill. Let them establish for about a year and then put your bass in.
For cover use old tires wired together, stone structure, bricks, cinder block, etc. I would avoid wood skids as they will be a problem when they rot. Also the nails can be a hazard too.
