Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Sources for SMB and YP

What are the other fish in the pond, and how big is the pond? How many of each and what size are you looking for? Where in MO are you? I know of a supplier near the St. Louis area, and I scoot down I-55 on my way to Arkansas to get fish.

Cody Note - esshup's questions are very appropriate. Sometimes when adding SMB and YP into an existing pond with sunfish species and largemouth does not result in good development of populations for the perch and SMB. YP and SMB thrive best without BG and LMB. To get SMB and YP to succeed in an existing BG-LMB pond large perch and smallies then they have to be stocked and then periodically added more every few years. .
