So I have a farm with a 32-45 acre lake dependent on the year. I will be the sole owner/manager so I want to have the right ideas implemented. I am finding out that I THINK the previous owner may have never stocked it. 15-20' deep, lots of trees in north end. Tried to catch fish 2 times with many methods and maybe leaning towards no fish being in there. 10 year old pond.
Certain types of fish? Special bass you'd want to put in there or general northern Bass?
Would I put minnows in like shad?
Suggestions on catfish, sun fish and blue gill?
Being so big, would it matter if I just ordered a standard amount for 5 acre pond and just waited longer on reproduction?
Would I ever create rock areas and introduce crayfish?
I basically want a BALANCED pond with HUGE bass and those big old pan sized blue gills the kids will love catching. Maybe introduce crappie later. What you suggest? I likely missed window this year, maybe next year you think? THANKS!!!
