To determine the necessary steps required to manage your pond or lake, the fish populations must be sampled to determine species, size, relative abundance and the growth rates of the fish in the lake. Lochow Ranch uses a top-of-the-line electrofishing boat to accurately and effectively assess fish populations. This process acts as the reference point for a long-term pond management plan and provides clues for corrective stocking and harvest recommendations. While elecrofishing surveys are used on established lakes to determine and diagnose any problems, they are also used as a routine management tool to identify issues before they become large and expensive problems.
Our custom electrofishing boat with its extra-large live-well and soft nets ensures that this process is as stress-free as possible for your fish. After being stunned, each fish is then weighed, measured and released unharmed. At Lochow Ranch we make recommendations based on our findings and provide you with a comprehensive management report, complete with different options for corrective action and tailored to your unique goals as a pond owner. Electrofishing is also an excellent tool for correcting an out-of-balance pond. Stunted fish or unwanted species can be easily and quickly removed with this service.
We provide any pond owner with the necessary equipment and expert advice to make their dream lake a reality. Contact us today for more information.
