Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Northern pike

I doubt the pike will spawn and recruit new pike in a 3/4 pond. Chain pickerel maybe? Plan on the pike eating more bass than BG during the course of a year. Bass are more slender and easier to swallow with less handling time than a bluegill. Plus the bass will have more biomass for the amount catch effort compared to a smaller BG. Pike learn this benefit. The pike might also might eat more goldfish than BG.
