Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose small mouth bass

SMB might work okay with HBG and RES as panfish. SMB would do better in that situation than LMB since there will not be lots of small forage fish available. Is there any way that you can catch a few 6"-10" SMB from a local pond or maybe stream. Six to 8 juvenile to small adult SMB in a 0.25 ac pond would be a good start for this spring. If you do it early enough you might get a spawn for 2007. Email me for a treatment bath dip instructions for "wild" fish to reduce the chance of introducing external parasites to your pond. For other readers the treatment bath instructions will be described in my article of the May June 2007 PBoss magazine.
