- 1). Catch or buy one species of small prey fish to start. Add the smaller prey fish in the fall to let them become accustomed to the pond as their habitat before adding the bigger fish that will feed on them.
- 2). Add the larger predator fish into the pond during the following spring. These larger fish feed on the smaller fish over time and grow larger accordingly. The larger the fish in the pond, the more you can charge for fishing.
- 3). Wait six months to a year for the fish to flourish and produce offspring in the pond. After the smaller and larger fish have produced offspring, advertise on your property or in your area for fishermen to come fish on your property. Make sure to include what kind of fish are in the pond when you create the advertisement. This could be a homemade sign posted on your property.
- 4). Charge the fishermen fees for fishing in your pond. Communicate with the fishermen to find out the quality of fishing and if they are catching too many or too little fish. Raise or lower your fishing fee accordingly.
