Sean, if Bill Cody says it, take notes.

From your description, I'm visualizing about 1/4 acre. Stocking plans should not be at high water levels but whatever is realistic to expect. This year is unusually wet and the past 4 have been DRY. I certainly don't have a crystal ball on North Texas rain. Too many fish creates an oxygen crash and fish die off. I'd think twice about 10 lbs of fatheads. They generally go about 400 per lb and are extremely prolific.

Rex(Rainman) is giving good advice on feed.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
