Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Adding black crappie. Please help

urup i'll let ya know how it goes in my pond.

Overton's Fisheries who is a PondBoss sponsor added hybrid crappie to my pond last year.

Here is what Overton's Fisheries says about Hybrid Crappie:

"The Hybrid Crappie (Black/White Cross) are finally available as an option for stocking crappie in small ponds. Traditionally crappie have not been recommended for stocking in less than 10-15 surface acres due to their potential to overpopulate. The spawning potential of hybrid crappie is greatly reduced compared to that of their white and black crappie counterparts, so they are a better option for small waters. Suggested stocking rate is 100-300 per surface acre. Ideal forage for crappie are minnows and threadfin shad."
