Proper water quality is essential to cultivate a productive fishery and lake or pond liming is a crucial step to maintain this. Application of lake or pond lime andwater-solublee fertilizer works in combination to achieve proper water quality.

The Perfect Combination

Pond Liming

In many ponds the pH is naturally too low to support a thriving ecosystem. The application of agricultural limestone at a rate of 4-6 tons/acre is required to bring this to the appropriate range of 6.5-9.
Once the pH has been properly adjusted, fertilization may begin. Proper fertilization creates a phytoplankton bloom that feeds small, forage fish such as bluegill and shad. This increases forage reproduction and gives largemouth bass an ample food suppply. A fertilized pond will produce 400% more fish than one that is not fertilized. This means more and bigger fish.
