Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Wanting ideas on stocking a pond in Michigan

If you are sure you dont want to stick with trout, I would stick with cool water tolerant species like yellow perch, walleye, smallmouth bass, and nothern pike.

A walleye, SMB, YP pond would be pretty cool and really good tasting. I would add some pumpkinseed sunfish and golden shiners as additional forage.
