I have a 2.5 acre pond in NE Kansas. My ultimate goal is to produce 1-3 pound yellow perch. Last year we had our first fish kill in 20 years. The only that I can tell that survived is millions of small bluegill and some of the the smaller lmb. Because of this fish kill we had an explosion of coontail covering 95% of the surface. I’ve since added a 4 diffuser Airation system from the pond guy. Tried diquat and cutrine plus mixed with low results. Added 150 grass carp that seem to be finally making some dents. I’m also using airmax eco boost to bind phosphates currently.last fall I added golden shiner fry from Anderson minnows and this spring I added brooders. I’m now seeing shiners in abundance and all size classes of bluegill as I feed aquamax mvp regularly so I get to see a lot of them. Bass are also in different size classes, but probably none over 3 pounds. Supposed to get 300 feed trained yellow perch this fall in the 7-9 inch range. My question is, how many walleye per acre can I add and when is the best time? I really want to feast on YP, but catching a few walleye once in a while would be a bonus. Hopefully I have given enough background on the pond. Deepest is around 14-16 foot after spring rains. Average is around 8-10 foot. Thanks!
