I have two old ponds on the farm that I have had to drain and recore the dams. I am starting the renovations next month. Each pond is roughly 1 1/2 acre. The west pond has 20 or so cypress trees in it. It averages 4-1/2 feet deep and is full of 45 years of muck. My plan for this pond is to deepen it around the edges and remove as much muck as I can. The east pond is 6 feet deep and is a bowl. I want to deepen it and add some bottom contours.
I am looking for ideas for what to stock in these ponds. I already have two bass/ bream ponds one 4-1/2 and one 3/4 acre and a 1/2 acre catfish pond. So what I really want y'all to help me with is finding another stocking plan. What would y'all do? Go crazy!
