Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Freshwater drum

I come across wild stocks of drum from time to time in lakes we manage. Some lakes, as 570 acre Lake Kiowa, has drum to 25 pounds, along with many other species.
Other lakes, with proximity to rivers and public lakes, also have small populations of drum. In smaller ponds, drum are typically overwhelmed by existence of managed predator fish such as largemouth bass, so those drum stocks are low in number, and usually small in size.
However, if drum are at the top of your food chain, expect them to grow fairly large, at least 8-15 pounds. The biggest question will be how they interact with all other fish, and how other fish interact with your drum.
