Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose What fish can I stock and keep lots of fatheads?

Hi,

I have a 1/4 acre pond that is stocked with fatheads now. I definitely want to keep lots of fatheads, as I crappie fish and like to have the bait readily available. Other than grass carp and koi, is there anything I can stock that will leave an abundance of fatheads? I would love to be able to catch and eat bluegill. Would adding them alone work?

Edit: Another priority that I am realizing is very important is that I keep my frog population. My pond is surrounded by woods, and in the summer we have a table and chairs down there where we sit at night and enjoy the deafening sound of frogs. Is it the case that just about any larger fish would eat up the eggs and tadpoles in the spring?

Thanks in advance,


Dan
