Managing South Dakota Ponds

for Fish and Wildlife

 

 

 

 

The South Dakota pond management booklet was developed as a joint effort between South Dakota State University and the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks. The booklet is available for download as a single file, but the file size is large. Thus, we also posted the booklet chapters individually for quicker downloads.
