Managing Mississippi Farm Ponds and Small Lakes

Because of poor planning, improper construction, or lack of proper management, many Mississippi lakes and ponds are relatively unproductive. A pond that consistently produces good catches of fish is a result of proper planning, construction, and management. The purpose of this publication is to encourage Mississippi landowners to plan, construct, and manage their ponds and lakes properly for recreational fishing.
