Pond Management in Alabama

[wwcenturion]

Small ponds and lakes represent a significant portion of Alabama’s freshwater resources. The state has an estimated 50,000 ponds that cover approximately 150,000 acres. Most ponds that have been stocked with largemouth bass and bream can provide excellent recreational opportunities when properly managed. The Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division's pond management information is available as a downloadable book called Sportfish Management in Alabama Ponds or as a two-hour documentary available online.
