Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations An epiphany regarding crappie in my BG pond

yes its the pond I'm trying to turn around....it is going to be a long process but since its the HOA pond, long is the only option I had.

I totally have faith that working to improve balance can pay off, just be aware it will take time and effort. The easy way out is to drain, kill and restock.

For what its worth the average size of my fish has been steadily but slowly increasing since I restocked the pond to be predator heavy about 18 months ago.

Look into passive methods like cloverleaf traps and/or trot lines. This reminds me I need to start trapping my pond again very soon.
