I have not seen an answer to Don's question "how many pounds of crawfish per acre to establish a year-round population". Does anyone within the Pond Boss forum know of a given "standard" or preferred stocking rate? I have a 5-acre pond in Tenn & want to create that forage base also.

As far as placing hay on the shoreline, do these need to be continually replaced as the crawfish feed on them over time? How many hay bales are appropriate in a 5-acre situation?
