I've had one plan drafted up that was more of a northern Midwest plan including YP and SMB, even a small amount of WE sinc my pond is partially spring fed.

SetterGuy - who stocked your lake? There are some guys south west of Bowling Green and another hatchery west of Quincy.

Thanks!!


I got almost all my fish from Rainman. Rex is easy to get ahold of. He's here on the forum. I received no surprises or mystery fish from him.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
