STOCKING RECOMMENDATIONS

• Recommended species for stocking northeast Ohio lakes and ponds: largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill.
• Largemouth bass feed almost exclusively on other fish;  forage species should be stocked as a food source, i.e. bluegill.
• Perch should be stocked in newer ponds only, perferably without overflows at a rate of 100 per acre of water.
• Minnows can be stocked as a food source for bass.
• It is not recommended to stock minnows in ponds with existing bluegill population.
• The recommended stocking rate for minnows is 1,000 per acre of water.
• Stock recommended species in proper ratio: 100 bass, 200 bluegill or 200 shellcrackers and 100 catfish per surface acre of water.
