Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking a new pond with RES, YP and SMB

The problem is that there isn't a universal regulation - each state is different. Each state is so different, that there could be different regulations for whether the fish is for food, aquarium use or pond use. If for pond use, then you can possibly break it down into 2 groups. Ponds with permanent inlets/outlets or ponds without - at least that's how Michigan designates ponds.

Then it also could be broken down into areas of the state. I believe Texas has different regs for GC that are in the Lake Fork watershed vs. not in that watershed.

VERY complex!
