If you’ve thought about turning your lake or pond into a fishing spot, fall is a good time to start the project, and we've got resources to help you.

We can’t stock your water with fish, but the Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine article, On Golden Pond, has tips on how to do it yourself. It explains how to match your pond with fish species, ways to keep the fish population at healthy levels, aquatic plant control, and how to spot factors that might hurt fishing quality.

We’ve got a full list of resources about construction and management, including how-to videos and how to contact your Texas AgriLife Extension county agent for advice. Take advantage of the cool weather and get started today!
