The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Fisheries Bureau and the Mississippi State University Extension Service are hosting a pond management workshop in Pike County.
The workshop will be held at Percy Quin State Park convention center on at 6:30 p.m. April 12. An hour-long presentation will include topics on pond design, fish stocking, harvest, vegetation control, liming, and fertilization. A question-and-answer period will follow.
Those interested in attending the workshop are asked to register by calling the MDWFP South Region office at (601) 783-2911.
“This workshop will allow biologists and private pond owners the opportunity to discuss management options to improve fish populations and habitat,” says Jerry Brown, MDWFP fisheries biologist. “We talk to people each year that want to manage their ponds effectively and this is a great way for us to provide personal how-to information that can help pond owners achieve their goals.”
