Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Expand 1 year old pan fish pond?

If you double it, you’ll have slightly more than 1/10-acre. With a short growing season, you’ll need to push the pond to grow enough fish, large enough to eat. Look at fish that grow quickly and provide good meat. While bluegills are good, look at catfish as well. Plus, when you increase the size, build it more like a hatchery pond, rectangular, with one end deeper than the other. And, install a drain pipe, if you can, if the site allows. That way, you can drain it and harvest your fish before ice-up.
