Bass are one of the most popular and sought-after gamefish, with multiple species and strains. Bass are a blast to fish for, provide a positive impact on a freshwater ecosystem, and are relatively hardy in this region. With the proper care and forage fish species, any lake or pond can support bass populations.
Largemouth Bass are apex predators, and thus require a good deal of management (regular culling, forage fish stocking, etc.) in order to thrive and reach trophy sizes. It is important to keep management requirements in mind when choosing fish for your pond or lake. Hybrid Striped Bass are a great option for pond owners looking for a lower-maintenance bass option, as they do not reproduce.
To stock your lake or pond with bass, contact Henneke Hatchery to learn more about the species of bass we have available and their respective management requirements.
