Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations When to stock?

October is fine. If you want a Large BG, LMB heavy and stunted pond, then those stocking #'s are O.K. If you're looking for a more balanced (fish wise) pond, then I'd stock 50 LMB.

How big is the pond?

FWIW, typically on the light side it's 1 LMB per 20 BG, on the heavy side it's 1 LMB per 10 BG. You might see some predation of the RES by the CC with those stocking sizes.
