Gamefish Stocking
Gamefish Stocking Done the Right Way
Stocking is the step that sets a pond’s fishing for years, and the species, sizes and numbers all matter. We build a stocking plan around your pond’s size, depth, water quality and goals, then stock the right fish at the right rates.
Most ponds in North Carolina do best with a balanced mix of largemouth bass, bluegill and redear sunfish, with channel catfish or hybrid striped bass added where the pond suits them. Forage fish are usually stocked first so they have time to establish before bass are added, which helps the bass grow fast instead of competing for food.
Stocking also works for ponds that already hold fish. Restocking after a fish kill, adding a new species or correcting a population that is out of balance can bring a pond back. We check surveys and water quality first, including dissolved oxygen, so fish go into water that can support them.
The goal is a fishery that stays healthy for years, not a one time delivery of fish. Call 910.777.9940 or send the form to get a stocking plan for your pond or lake.
