Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose New Texas Pond

Here's the facts;

1) Existing 15 yr. old, 1.5 acre pond with LMB and BG.
2) Most bass are 12" with few in 16"-18" slot.
3) Most BG are 6"-8".
4) New pond is 3.5 acres. 22' max depth with 3/1 sloping banks.
5) New pond gets its water from overflow of exisitng pond.
6) Stocked CNBG, RES and FHM this fall in new pond as forage.
7) Old pond and new pond are currently ecologically separated by means of beaver dam on the old pond overflow.
8) Would like to have a fishery of something other than LMB.
9) YP, HSB, Tilapia et al are very interesting as I have done the LMB scene for years and would like a change.
10) In the dark about the YP.

I was told that ewest would have the best advice but I will welcome any and all that may help. Aeration I am told is the key to YP survival and growth.
