Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Reason for Channel Cat?

Shorty, I originally stocked 100 CC in 0.9 acre; I'm not sure exactly how many are there now, because there has been successful recruitment (unknown amount) to offset removals (known amount, I like to think). I estimate that I had 50+ CC of significant size (up to about 6 lbs) left last Fall. They have never caused muddy water (they do get their share of pelleted feed, and would not be disposed to bottom grubbing).

To make a guess, I think on the order of 500/acre might be needed to ensure muddiness. I could easily be wrong, but you can see why I think that's a lot of catfish.
