I drained my small (1/3 acre) pond containing bluegill and bass this week. I pulled out all the big fish and many of the others died. There are several small pockets of water remaining with many small fish that are still alive. I am planning on liming the pond bottom before allowing it to refill. Will dumping lots of lime into these small water pockets kill the small fish that remain? I am going to restock with catfish only and don't want any small bluegill or bass to remain. Are there other cost effective measures I can take to insure that no fish survive before the pond refills? There is alot of structure in and around the small pockets of water, so I can't just remove the fish with a net.

Thanks for any help!
