I know most people on this forum like to fish. I used to fish in Lake Michigan when I was a kid but haven't since. Anyway, my pond is about an acre and it has lots of bull frogs, other frogs, tadpoles, salamander tadpoles (larvae?) water snakes, etc. I really like the combination. There always seems to be something going on, like snakes swimming around the edges trying to catch frogs or hawks swooping down trying to get the frogs(I assume) also. My question is what will happen if I stock the pond with catfish, bluegill and small mouth bass? How will things change? Will the fish eat most of the tadpoles or will the pond pretty much stay the same. The reason for stocking would be for family and friends to be able to fish when visiting.


Thanks,
Jeff
