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

I don't think YOY YP will be enough for the Crappie forage when you consider how prolific the Crappie can be.

Usually WE won't reproduce in a pond.

Without some serious consideration to minimizing organic matter build up in the pond, I don't know if the pond will be viable 100 years from now without draining, removing muck, etc. and renovation during that time.

A local lake was built in the late 1800's. It has accumulated over 10' of organic material on the bottom in most of the lake during that time, and that is with a lot of boat traffic, water skiing, etc.

While farm ponds can yield some fantastic fishing, if you want to keep that fantastic fishing going over the life of the pond, it will take some dedication to fisheries, nutrient and habitat management.
