vance of planting to determine whether
the pond is acceptable for the type of
fish ordered, or for any fish.
In fact, you should have an Sos en-
ploye look over your pond even be-
fore you apply for fish. Chances are
he'll find one of these necessities lack
ing: Depth, drainage and/or protec-
ton from livestock.
Lack of depth has caused most fish
pond problems in Montana so far, fish
biologists say. Shallow, saltwater res
ervoirs are apt to go stale during the
months they are iced over. And fish
can't live without oxygen.
If your reservoir is filled by run-off
water alone, it should have minimum
depth of 10 feet for at least 20 per cent
of its surface area And that measure
ment should be made when the pond
is at its lowest. If your pond is spring
fed, depth may be less-but it's always
a good bet to get the greatest depth
possible in proportion to surface area,
because, in general, the deeper the
pond, the better it will be for fish pro-
duction and fishing.
Depth has much to do with the type
of fish you can plant successfully, also
Even if your reservoir is filled only by
nff ~ int
enough temperatures in deep water to
support trout. Brook trout and, as a
second choice, Rainbow, have been
planted successfully in many. They
won't reproduce as warm-water fish
will, but they will grow if temperature
of deeper water stays cold enough in
hot summer days. And, with periodic
paintings, they will supply good fishing.
Drainage facilities can be just as
important as depth. If you're building
for fish purposes, you'll need to drair
the pond: To remove unwanted fish OF
unbalanced populations; to take out
large fish when you are restocking, OF
| JUST W C1Sdu IT, OS1O IC(llllC1c1ItS 1OO
ommend installing a 6-inch or larger
drain pipe at the lowest point of the
reservoir. Add trickle tube, too, they
say, if the reservoir is springfield.
Most Montana reservoirs are bull
for stock-watering purposes and tina
means extra planning if you want to ado
fish to one. Biologists say, Keep live
stock away from the reservoir site
They trample the banks and roll tn,
water, making it unfit for either live
stock or fish,
So, if the pond is to be used for stool
water as well as fish, it is advisable
to put in a stock tank below it an
fence the dam and entire pond area t
keep livestock out.
These aren't the only requirement
for good farm fish pond but they ar
among the most important. If you ar
interested in a backyard fishing hole
whether you're thinking of building
new pond or stocking an old one, cor
suit your local SCS technician. And &c
