Learn how to get the best out of your fishing pond at Purdue Extension’s Pond & Fish Management Workshop on May 13 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Whitley County Ag Museum (on the grounds of the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds), 680 West Squawbuck Road, Columbia City, IN. The Ag Museum has a windmill near the front door.
The public is invited to learn from two of Purdue Extension’s most knowledgeable Extension Educators on pond management and fish management. David Osborne, Extension Educator in Ripley County, and Jonathan Ferris, Extension Educator in Wayne County, will be sharing their training and experience.
Subjects to be covered include understanding the pond ecosystem, managing aquatic vegetation, pond maintenance, fish species best suited to Indiana ponds, fish stocking rates, and fish population management.
Anyone may attend, but landowners with ponds should find the information particularly helpful. Emphasis will be placed on managing ponds for fish.
