I've determined that my pond has no fish in it, which is kind of nice since I get to start from scratch and monitor growth, etc.
So, can y'all give me some recommendations on fish type, order of stocking, timeframe, quantity, etc?
The pond is 1/4 acre, 8' at deepest and I would guess about 2-3 years old. Water is clean and ph is good.
From what I've researched so far, my current plan is:
150 Channel Cat (Stocked 25 this weekend as a test)
100 Hybrid Bluegill
50 Redear Bream
2 lbs Minnows (Stocked 1 lb this weekend)
Is this a suitable quantity and combination? Should I stock one type before the other or all at once?
I still need to make a decision on an aerator and install the feeder.
I did sink a pallet in about a 1.5' of water for the minnows to spawn.
Long-term plan is just a little fishing hole and harvest some cats for the occasional fry.
