Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking Plan

I am a Texas pond guy and I have learned most fish stocking is regional, so this may not mean much but, I would stay away from any gizzard shad for a few years and maybe never because they can take over a pond in a short time period. Especially when your predators are small or in low numbers. And most will say not to stock BCP in a pond that is 2.5 acres. But I personally would like to have some in my pond but have been advised against doing so in my 3+ acre pond. Best of luck to you which ever route you decide.
