I am building a 1 acre pond in central Indiana in the summer of 2015. The pond will be 13' deep max with average depth of 5-6” Fish desired, Perch/Walleye/Redear sunfish/Hybrid striped bass. Goals for pond are perch to eat and Striped bass for fun, walleye as predator, redear sunfish for parasites.
I plan to feed and provide aeration
Plan:
Stock 20# FHM the fall of 2015
Stock 350 6-8” perch and 50 redear sunfish in the spring of 2016
Stock 25-30 7-9” walleye and 30 8-10” Hybrid Striped Bass in fall of 2016
Harvest walleye when they reach 16-19” to preserve larger perch.
Harvest approximately 50 perch fall/winter of 2016 and 100-150 perch/year in the following years.
I would really appreciate the opinions and suggestions of this forum of my stocking and harvest plan.
Thanks!
