Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain recommendations for northern YP/SMB/BT pond

Was the added rock limestone ? If so, that will help craws, PKs and alkalinity.

I would add the ag lime to start but not all the salt. I would wait to be sure the salt was needed and only add in small amounts.

Agree on stocking plan + Sunil's comments. Long term my guess is you will need more forage base with YP , trout and SMB. FYI YP are known to stunt so you and the SMB will need to control that.

If you don't have this book suggest to get it.
