Clearing a Dam for Bass

[Guest]

Hi guys

Managing a pond stocked with both barbel and carp already stocked in the dam becomes a tedious affair. I'm not sure increasing the dam's bass and kurper population will be the best solution, to grow and maintain reasonable fish populations you need to calculate the balance between predatory fish and fodder fish. Further stocking of either into such a dam will only be a temporary solution.

You can always try drag netting, a time consuming and costly affair or electroshocking the fish, but both of these techniques require a great deal of know how. Electroshocking only works on larger fish species, periodically stunning the fish so you can remove them.

Here's a few links to find out a little more on pond management and stocking.
