Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Cage Raising some Buegill and Red Ear?

R&R I missed your post. The best way to get all/most of the fish out of the area to be blocked off is reverse seining.
Start at the shore and seine out to the location the net will be placed.

CB1 after I set the net (it had extra weights)I added bricks at a few locations along the bottom. No problems from burrowers but I did not have trout.

A better method than a net is rigid plastic netting using poles and zip ties.
