Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain How many crayfish to stock for new pond

Ewest,

This may be one of those "it depends" situations. The trend I'm seeing in my pond is with the SMB, WE, CC and LMB as predators, there are very few if any YP recruits. It currently looks like, if I want to continue to have YP in the pond for table fare, I will need to periodically ladder stock 7 to 9 inch fish.

Thanks for the links to crawfish threads. Interesting reading. A few links I really wanted to read went to expired web pages. So far, the only PBF info I've been able to find on White River Crays is the info Tracy posted with his experience. If I can get some at a reasonable price, I might give them a try and post back my experience in a year or three.
