Seasonal Tips

Your Preseason Pond Checklist

Have a sample of your pond water tested for total alkalinity and total hardness.Have a sample of your pond water tested for total alkalinity and total hardness. This will determine if your pond will require an application of agricultural lime. If your pond does need lime, any fertilizer that is applied in the spring will not be effective in producing a phytoplankton bloom.

Test your automatic feeder to see if it is ready to operate this spring. Check the voltage on the battery and check the feed chute to be sure that it is clear of obstructions. Clumps of feed are commonly found in the chutes, preventing the feed from passing through the feeder freely.

Use a deep-diving lure to check out vegetation you can't see.Take a trip around your pond on foot or by boat to identify any possible weed problems. Be sure to look at the shoreline, in the shallows, and in a few deep areas. Throwing a crank bait or other deep diving lure will allow you to catch submersed vegetation even though you can’t see it from the surface.

Be sure not to fertilize if you have a vegetation problem. Fertilizer will only stimulate the vegetation growth, making it worse. If vegetation is present, plan to control the vegetation before fertilization begins.

By stocking the right kind of fish and following a well-developed plan of maintenance and fertilization, you can grow trophy-sized fish in your pond. Let American Sport Fish Hatchery help you reach your pond's maximum potential!
