DP. I would suggest you check out the following two publications:

MP360 - Farm Pond Management for Recreational Fisheries

http://www.agfc.com/resources/Public...Management.pdf

MP447 - Recreational Fishing in Small Impoundments: Alternative Management Options

http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publ...PDF/MP-447.pdf

These were both put together by Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, in conjunction with UAPB and AGFC. The first is a great primer for anyone with a recreational fishing pond. The second covers some different options for specific goals in fish production (big bass option, big bream option, and hybrid sunfish option). I think you will find them helpful.

Also, check out the following, which is a link to all the sportfish producers in Arkansas, and the fish that are available for purchase:

Good luck!
