Basic Stocking Plans for New and Established Ponds
Bluegill/Largemouth Bass/Channel Catfish option
Traditional stocking plan that will produce a fine fishery for quality largemouth bass as well as a good fishery for bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish. Channel catfish will need to be restocked periodically since reproduction is limited in ponds.
New PondHybrid Sunfish/Largemouth Bass/ Channel Catfish Option
Established Pond
This option will produce a high quality panfish fishery with a fair quality fishery for largemouth bass. It is an ideal option for a fishing pond for children or for ponds smaller than two acres. Largemouth bass in this option are primarily used to control the reproduction of the hybrid sunfish. Channel catfish and hybrid sunfish will need to be restocked periodically since reproduction is limited. Redear sunfish or hybrid redear sunfish should be stocked to control snails. Note: there is no advantage to stocking hybrid sunfish in ponds with bluegill; you should chose one or the other based on what type of fishery you desire.
