Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations General question from a Newcomer

Bill gave you some numbers for bluegill and bass that "can" be producded in the pond. The reason I did not sugest them is b/c it is more difficult than just channel cats. I manage ponds and see the problem "keeping a balance" in such a small environment. You can either have too many little bluegill or too many bass and they wipe out most bluegill. Educate yourselve and try them along with the catfish. If going this route I suggest stocking 250 fingerling bluegill. Make sure you see some reproduction from the bluegil before stokcing 25 fingelring laregmouth bass. You can stock the bluegill now and wait until next June before adding the bass and they would have tons of bluegill for forage. Hope this helps.
