I joined a year ago but never posted anything. I live in Southeast Colorado and have around 7-8 ponds but only three that hold water year round. Finally this year I'm getting around to attempting to stock one or two of them.
There aren't many fish hatcheries near by so they will have to travel around 250 miles. I ordered 200 blue gill, 200 channel cats 8-12" 2000 fhm, and 10 grass carp to start. They should be coming from Kingman, Kansas in the next week or two.
Next year I will add some lmb. I'm mainly stocking so that we can relax and fish with family and friends maybe have some friendly tournaments after branding or weaning time.
The pond I plan on stocking is roughly 300' long by 200' wide with an average depth of aroudn 4-5' the deepest being around 12'.
I have already learned a lot from the site and enjoy reading all the information. I will attempt to get some pictures of the pond and pictures of when the fish arrive and we release them into the pond.
