Just built a pond in terrell area. Is their any programs out their that the state will stock it for free for you ?
Lets hope not.....when you get free stuff from the state it isn't gong to be worth half of what you paid for it.....that goes double for fish.
Check with your local county extension agent or go to the Texas Aquaculture Association's site and get their "Fish Availability List."
Probly some fishmonger or other will step in here directly....there are some good ones around. Find out what they got to say about stocking your pond and do like they tell you for good results.
Alternatively, there's some fairly savvy pond managers on this forum, some in it professionally and others that own ponds and have a wealth of knowledge on getting the most out of them. They can help point you in the right direction as well.
Building, stocking, managing and harvesting a pond is an adventure.
