I dug 1/2 acre pond for my brother in the fall of 2010. He has a creek very close by to the pond, and also a drainage ditch that runs right next to the pond. He initially used the ditch to fill the pond up, and then dammed it off. The pond is isolated from the creek and ditch, and has been since summer 2011.
He's never stocked any fish, apart from the young PS I have just moved from my pond to his.
I noticed when I was putting in the last batch of young PS, something was gobbling them up rather quickly, I could see and hear the PS getting eaten near the top of the water when I was putting them in.
I guess his kids just started fishing in the pond last night, and caught dozens of green sunfish.
He does not want them.
What if anything can be done about the green sunfish? Due to the proximity to the creek and drainage ditch, it is likely that they will just keep showing up?
He asked me if he should stock some northern pike.
