New 3 acre pond - 02/13/12 07:29 PM
Like this is a very fun website to be a part of and finally joined after months of lurking! As the subject says I have recently built a 3 acre pond with the max depth of 30 feet. It has holes at 30 feet many humps and piles. Around the edges is tapered from a foot to about 8 to a faster slop towards the center. The pond was finished in November and we began to scatter large cedar trees at varying depths there are roughly 15 pallet stacks scattered in mostly deeper water. There is a couple of small rock piles in shallow water with plans to add more as soon as we can get back in there. There is about 5 foot of water in the pond but all the deep holes are full. The pond is fed with two 4 inch field tiles and some ground water.
Now I want to put LMB BG and either YP or WC in the pond but not sure on stocking rates. Also when is there enough water to start stocking the fish? Also I am going to probably need to get a FHM population started prior to stocking when should I do that? Is it feasible to have crappies and perch together in the pond together?
Thanks for all the help!
