Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Single Species Crappie Pond/Lake, Yellow Perch

You cannot reasonably manage a fishery effectively without an apex predator to control population of other fish. If you don't want LMB present, you could elect to use SMB and HSB [hybrid striped bass] as apex predators to keep YP and HBCP populations controlled. Introduction of Redear Sunfish would also be a good idea to keep snail population managed and provide another species to target. In a bow of that size, some Walleye could also be introduced. HSB and WE should be ladder stocked annually to keep various classes present and population numbers appropriate.
