Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Hatchery pond is now stocked with crappies.

I whacked a couple of partially dead lower limbs off the big weeping willow, and dropped them in the water on each side of the pier, where I've been seeing the crappie hang out at. Since crappie can be "vertical spawners' it's hope they will feel more like making whoopee under the branches.





I'm also seeing a brownish bloom come on that this pond typically takes on every year in late spring. Cody examined the phytoplankton and said it was primarily a benign golden yellow species.
