Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking 2 ponds

Welcome to PB!

With that stocking plan, I think you will be overrun with BG in a few years. The SMB won't be able to control their numbers.

Is there suitable spawning substrate for the SMB in the ponds?

How much fishing pressure will the ponds see?

You don't have to stock HSB every year, it all depends on how many you take out of the pond every year. I'll be you could go every couple of years and be fine. That way you'll have the angling opportunities that you look forward to.

Will you be supplemental feeding at the ponds?

The ponds aren't too small, people have done more with less. How much will the water level fluctuate during the year?
