Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Pumpkinseed Sunfish

True!

There were carp, gar and dogfish in the lake back then. Never caught another gar or dogfish since. No White Bass were ever in the lake back then, but a few are being caught here and there. GS same thing, they are a relatively recent addition (say the last 15-20 years)

Blue Catfish were stocked as well as Walleye. None have been caught in the past 10 years that I know of. They dropped the lake level 5' for the treatment. Lots of shoreline was exposed. I remember filling up a 14' jon boat a number of times with the dead carp and gar.
