Hello to all,
I have been reading with great interest the stocking of bluegills, and bass in ponds. We are about to stock our pond in a couple of weeks. I have a question that I hope someone can help us with. We have creek chubs in our pond, which we put in last year. Some of them seem to have grown to about 6", as I was sitting on the dock last evening and saw a fish jump to catch an insect. Perhaps, it wasn't even a creek chub, maybe someone put fish in our pond that we don't know about, but that is highly unlikely. I would like to know just what is a creek chub? Are they like overgrown minnows or flatheads? If the creek chubs live in our pond, does that mean we will have no problem with other species surviving? Are the above a good source of food for bass? Will they eat the bluegill fingerlings we plan to put in next week. Thanks to all who can help. Kay - A new pond owner - and what a joy it is!
Your new message board is also great - Thanks.
