So my gravel pit is nearing completion, they will begin restoring the pit next summer. So we may be stocking the pond in just over a year!It is a pretty incredible site right now they have 4 excavators going 12 hours a day. They have been moving 10,000 yards a day.
But, the pond is going to be bigger and deeper than I thought. It will be between 15 and 17 acres in size and at least 20 to 25 feet deep in small pockets. So what to add for fish? LMB and BG are most likely, but at 15 acres in size walleye are also a possability. The MN state record LMB is only around 8lbs, needless to say, up here walleyes are king.
If walleye are going to be stocked next to bass what numbers of bass and walleye? and What forage?
Yellow perch? Golden Shiners? White suckers? What about per acre 30 LMB 350 BG 30 Walleye
100 Suckers and 1 tiger muskie(to eat suckers over 12").
Any other suggestions? Cautions? What about crappies and Yellow Perch? Any extra possabilities
for a large deep pond?
Thanks
