Triangle Pond Management

This winter is a great time to add lime to your lake or pond. Water in ponds reflects the quality of the soils in which they are located. Most ponds in the southeast region have low levels of total alkalinity, total hardness, and low pH values. Having poor water quality in a fish pond means the overall fish production is slowed. Liming is an important method for correcting many of these water quality issues, as well as helping to improve fish productivity.

With the deer season in North Carolina coming to a close, and spring around the corner, prudent hunters and landowners are reflecting on their season and how to improve their deer hunting success in the following year. Whether the goal is larger antlers or a healthier overall herd, mineral supplementation through the winter months into the spring can have a positive effect on your deer.
Triangle Pond Management carries Trophy Rock all natural mineral licks. These products contain the trace minerals needed by bucks growing new antlers. Does producing fawns will also benefit from mineral supplementation for gestation and lactation. Contact Triangle Pond Management today for your mineral supplement needs.

Fall Cleanouts

• With fall arriving, fall clean outs are always a necessity.
• With the colder temperatures fall becomes one of the safest times of the year to transfer fish.
• Cleanouts are recommended at least once a year as a preventive.

Pond Netting & Dome

• Pond Netting helps insure the safety of your fish from predators.
• Netting also keeps debris and leaves out which helps the pond stay clean, clear and healthy.
• With this net you will spend more time enjoying the pond and not fetching leaves and limbs out of it.

De-Icer / Aeration

• With the temperatures rapidly, dropping the de-icers are here to help.
• The de-icer helps increase oxygen for the safety of fish.
• When the water freezes over all the gases from decaying material becomes trapped, which can sicken or kill your fish.

Triangle Pond Management Wildlife Services recently released live mallards in in a duck impoundment they are managing. Live birds in a newly established food source help attract and hold wild birds to your property. At Triangle Pond, we specialize in aquatic plantings that complement waterfowl. We include perennial aquatic plants in our management plans because they reestablish year after year, and if maintained properly, can be very cost effective (rather than planting year after year EX: corn). If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about our waterfowl management services including construction and management, contact us today for more information.

Deer season is over, and most hunters put away their rifle to chase waterfowl or look forward to the spring turkey season. Even though it’s winter, there are still many opportunities for Triangle Pond Management’s Wildlife Management Division to help you make improvements on your property for better deer hunting next fall. Want a shooting lane cleared, a path cut in, or a food plot installed in an overgrown area? With deer season over, winter is a great time for our Forestry Mulching equipment to go to work for you to achieve your goals.

Maintaining a healthy fish population is one objective that most pond owners have in common. A great way to strengthen your forage base and create a balanced fish population is through supplemental feeding. Including an automatic fish feeder into your pond management approach will provide a secondary food source to grow your forage fish and will increase their survival and reproduction success. As bait productivity improves and a self-sustaining forage base is established, the pond’s fish population will become more balanced and the entire ecosystem will benefit.

With winter in full effect, your water garden is going to experience some ice buildup. Nothing to worry about! Keep your pump running constantly to keep the water circulating. This will keep your pond from completely freezing over allowing harmful gases to escape.

Taking a few steps this winter to manage your pond correctly can provide better fish production this spring. Adding lime and providing artificial structure are two important pond maintenance tips for pond owners to consider this winter.
