POND & LAKE FISH STOCKING

Our stocking recommendations are built on thousands of conversations with pond owners and hundreds of electrofishing surveys conducted by our fisheries biologists over the years. We have corrected hundreds of ponds with the same issues you are experiencing. Selecting the right species in the right quantities takes expertise and a clear understanding that each pond—and each pond owner’s goals—are unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach. By sharing your goals, the challenges you’d like to address, and the sizes of fish you’re seeing, we can provide recommendations tailored specifically to your pond.
