    Default Operation Pond Stock


    In Texas, it’s legal to stock fish in private ponds that were taken from public waters, provided they meet all the usual requirements in length and limits.

    Put 6 crappie in a relatively small spring fed pond on a friends property. Fingers crossed they make it and start to reproduce. We know there is a population of bluegill and a bass or two in the waters as well. Some fathead minnows will be thrown in periodically for good measure. Time will tell how it works out.

    Do you guys have any experience stocking crappie? If so, let me know how it was and any lessons learned.

    Tight lines,

    No personal experience but I have always heard to not stock crappie in a pond as they will overpopulate and be stunted. And if you are going to do it stock black crappie.

    This... White crappie will over populate a pond. Stock black crappie and keep what you catch to help keep the population in check
