Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations I want a catfish pond but have bluegill crowding

Wow, that is a big net. Hopefully you can figure out how to catch CCs in it.

I'm thoroughly confused now about structure in a CC-only pond. If I'm going to feed them do I need any structure?

I've wondered if the trees around the pond are causing low DO levels. I've looked into getting an aeration system going and read lots of threads on it but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was glad to see that there were two big CCs in the pond after all these years because that meant (I think) that I never had a fish kill. At least not a total fish kill. I get that aeration makes for a healthier pond and healthier fish, but is there a way to know if that's my limiting factor for growing CCs?
