Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Need some advice

Can you trap enough Bluegills? Is there anything in your Dads pond that you don't want in your pond (plants, algae, etc.)?

If you want to grow large bass, stock 20-30 bluegills to every bass that you stock. If you want a more balanced pond, drop that number to 10-15 BG per every LMB. If you want to grow large Bluegills and don't care about the bass, stock 200 LMB per 1,000 BG. Those fish numbers are per surface acre.

In the large BG goal, don't let the LMB get larger than 14"-15" and harvest all the female BG that you catch. If the LMB gets larger than that, take them out.
