Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose New 3.5 acre pond in PA

Thanks everyone for the advice. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. As a taxidermist and property manager, this time of the year is very busy for me and computer time is limited.

Is there any need for concern if I put crayfish in this pond? There is a lot written about crayfish damaging the dike. It may be pointless to worry about it however since we found many crayfish while digging the test holes the previous summer.

Also, there hasn't been any mention of trout for the pond. I am pretty comfortable that the water will be suitable for them and also realize that they will be a put and take type of fish, much like the WE.

Any comments on the trout idea?

Grass shrimp is something that was mentioned that I am unfamiliar with. Can someone point me to a good source?

Its filling quickly...got the boat ramp poured last week!

And, my subscription to PB showed up last week!

Thanks,
Dan
