Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Quick Help--Stocking Now

Okie,

"Still...in the meantime...I want to improve the fishing....NOW!"

I hear you. I am working through the some of the same decisions on my pond. Stock or wait. I have convinced myself to wait until I have made all the improvements to the water, drainage...etc., ensure everything is ready, then stock it. However it is EXTREMELY temping (for me) to go ahead with the stocking plan and take the risk that everything will work out.

From another perspective, IF I get the pond in good shape, the natural balance/reproduction will improve (hopefully) and may eliminate my stocking needs.

The best of luck to you, sounds like you have put a lot of thought and $ into your plans. There are some super smart folks on this board that can really help...
