Thinking of stocking some threadfin shad. I've found a supplier, but have to get them within the next day or so - My pond is near Paris Texas. I've read mortality occurs near 42 degrees for the threadfin. I know they exist in Texoma which is the same northerly location as my pond.
Does anyone know the suggested stocking rate - i have an existing pond with LMB and CNBG - 2 acres
Opinions on survivability over the winters?
I think the water dynamics of an 88,000 acre lake and a 2 acre are going to significantly different. I wouldn't correlate the shad surviving in Lake Texoma with the shad being able to sure in your pond.
As far as winter survivability, someone else with better knowledge will have comment fully.
