How many fish should I stock in my pond?
When stocking a pond we recommend 3 prey fish for every 1 predator fish. Bass are considered predator fish. Using this 3:1 stocking ratio ensures a better balance of fish populations within a pond.

What is the best time to stock a fish pond?
Ideal times to stock a pond are spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler.
Fish can be stocked in summer as well, but warmer water can be more stressful on new fish.
Tips & Best Practices for Game Fish
-
Pre-adjust your pond: Ensure adequate aeration, cover (vegetation or structure), and water quality before introduction.
-
Acclimate gradually: Float the bag in the pond for 10-15 minutes, then slowly add pond water to the bag before releasing fish.
-
Feed as needed: Supplement with quality game fish pellet feed. New fish are feed trained. To continue to maximize growth, continue using premium feed.
-
Monitor growth & balance: Every season, check for signs of overgrazing on prey species. Adjust stocking or feeding accordingly.
-
Protect from predation: Use pond structures or cover to shield small bass from avian predators until they grow larger.
