Two stocking strategies with several variations will be discussed for ponds larger than 1 acre
Trophy management strategies for trophy catfish (Trophy management for bass or sunfish will be covered in the upcoming fish management strategies webinar)
Importantly, stocking order will be covered as stocking at the correct time in the correct order is critical to establishing a well-balanced pond that will provide decades of good fishing.

Finally, we will conclude with undesirable species that should not be stocked in ponds as they may be harmful to the fishery.
