Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Creek Minnows & Bluegill

I have creek chubs in the outlet of my pond.....the outlet tube drops 40' down my dam into a deep ravine, the tube has created a very large outflow bowl that is about 4-5' deep and 10' around, it feels a creek that joins a larger creek which eventually (1.5 miles) meets the mississippi. They're very common in our area, even the smallest creeks entering the mississippi here have creek chubs. If you have small gravel or pebbles in shallow water they should reproduce. In creeks they usually spawn around the small pools with 1" or less rocks. You can usually tell they are spawning when you see them hold that gravel edge of the pool even after you scare them away - they should group up and spawn in a colony like bluegills.

I've never thought of adding them to my pond, this is an interesting idea.
