Thanks for the reply QA.

My pond is 5 acres give or take. It has been referred to as a "natural pond" because the majority of the shoreline and shallows are just flooded trees and such. It is creek fed and has a constant flow of water through it. I do not have any rip-rap rock along any of the shorelines but feel that the shallows and fallen trees would provide adequate cover and habitat. The pond has been there many years and had the dam rebuilt, syphon system installed, and concrete overflow built. There are plenty of LMB large enough to control the population of the crawfish. My goal is use the crawfish as supplemental feeding for the LMB.

So any crawfish that I can trap from surrounding areas would be okay to stock into the pond?
