I would not stock catfish unless you are willing to start cleaning fish the very first year and are willing to stay dedicated to removing them. I am having a difficult time removing enough of them from my pond.
Ditto. I set out a trotline the last few nights and haven't caught a one. It's time to move it to a different area and try again. I should have over 100 CC in the 1 3/4 ac pond unless someone else has removed them for me.
