You didnt say how big the pond is. The general concensus is that no pond 25 acres or less should have crappie. Due to crappies early spawning compaired to all others they get a head start on the small forage. Depending on how many lmb are "really" in the pond will depend on if the crappie will survive or not. Since its a done deal all the owner can do is wait and see. If lots of small crappie start to show up he will have his answer. I am not the expert or even one of them, however these are standard rules i have read over and over here. Someone else will chip in im sure.
