I am considering stocking some fish into a pond that will be subject to overbank flooding every 1-3 years.

Obviously the pond management will be imperfect, so I was hoping for some recommendations on which species of gamefish could be stocked (in Kansas) that would be the LEAST likely to move out of the pond during flooding events.

This pond would have escape routes for fish that want to swim downstream with the current, AND have escape routes for fish that want to swim upstream.

Based on your experiences with flooding in your own ponds (or on research), what are some recommendations for fish that would prefer to "stay" in the pond?



Here is the link to my previous post about the particulars of the pond:
