Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Spottail Shiners in ponds

Time to break out the minnow trap and hit the creeks around here this spring. I just checked

and both Bluntnose and Spotfin are supposed to be in our local waters.


Edit: Hmmm...maybe I am jumping the gun a little. Perhaps I should build the forage pond before I stock it!
