Whenever we talk about species, stalking rates etc., one question always comes up. Do you want one or a few species in your lake or do you want lots of different species?
In the over whelming nunber of cases, most people want simple systems. You manage your pond one way and you get big bass. You manage your pond another way and you get big panfish. Most any fisheries manager can tell you how to do this.
We have a very high diversity pond (4 acres of water plus 1 1/2 acres of island. The debth ranges from 15 ft. to 3 ft. flats. It has two aerators.
Fish species include: LMB, SMB, wipers, white bass, rock bass, bluegills, hybrid bluegills, pumkinseed sunfish, green sunfish, black crappie, white crappie, walleye, sauger, yellow perch`, channel catfish, goldeye, freshwater drum, shorthead redhorse, white suckers and small numbers of many other species.
Has anyone else tried anything like this?
