Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations put, grow and take management

Hi Norm,

Stocked May 2003
0.9 acre pond
100 CC stocked, nominally 6" to 9"
To date, 48 CC have been removed to eat.
Size Break down:
14" - 3
15" - 8
16" - 4
17" - 9
18" - 4
19" - 4
20" - 6
21" - 5
22" - 2
23" - 2
24" - 1
No restocking yet.
CC plans:
My next batch of put, feed, and harvest fish are going to be HSB. I want to reduce the CC numbers down to 20 or so before I put the HSB in. But (longterm) I want to have a couple of monster CC in the pond to occasionally trash fishing tackle, and I like eating CC well enough that I will restock at some time in the future, probably from 25 to 50 9" to 12".
