Instead of using gizzard shad consider using golden shiners and/or yellow perch even if you have to periodically restock. Also explore adding alternative forage species such as spottail shiners or bluntnose minnows that occur in nearby lakes that have good walleye production. How big is the pond? Consider improving habitat to naturally grow more forage. Gshad tend to grow too big too fast to serve as good forage for WE.
