Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Where could i get Gizzard shad

I second Bills response. In addition, cold water will not reduce the amount of Gizzard shad to any noticeable amount. There's a local Indiana lake that some idiot introduced Gizzard shad to. The BG population suffered, and so did a lot of other fish species. Last DNR gillnet survey showed 60% of the fish biomass in the lake to be Gizzard Shad. That's a complete waste of a lage part of the fishery.

I would NOT stock them in the BOW. You will never get them out, and trying will cost a huge amount of $$$.
