Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Pond Management Information |
Welcome to the South Dakota State University
web resource for pond management.
Pond management has long
been a topic of interest for the South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service, the
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, and the South Dakota Department
of Game, Fish and Parks. South Dakota has a tremendous pond resource, with many
of the ponds having fish communities. Management activities typically focus on
warmwater fishes such as largemouth bass and bluegill, but some West River ponds
are managed with trout.
