Did you know when stocking a pond, you’ll want to stock five Bluegill for every Largemouth Bass. This will help you grow trophy Bass.

To clear up a muddy pond use liquid Aluminum Sulfate (Alum) and Agriculture lime. This will remove the suspended solids in your pond. Application rate may very, but about ten gallons per surface acre and two hundred pounds of lime per surface acre should do the trick. Alum can be purchased at your local water treatment supply store.
