Update on the Fish Pond Field Day

With spring and summer in our midst, so is the need for weed control in our ponds.  Having knowledge about stocking rates and weed control will help grow larger fish and cleaner ponds.  With the hard summer last year it is more important than ever to help your ponds out with good pond management.  Land owners should make plans to attend the AgriLife Extension Service Fish Pond Field Day, with a guest speaker Dr. Billy Higginbotham a Professor and Extension Wildlife and Fisheries Specialist.  Topics include, weed identification, weed control, fish selection, stocking rates, basic pond management and much more.

AGVantage is sponsoring a fish fry at 12:00 noon, followed by the program.  It is located 9 miles south of Decatur on Fm 730, or 2 miles north of Boyd on the west side of the road.  Signs will be noticeable from road.

           The cost of the program is $10 before April 27th or $15 the day of the program. Lunch is included.  You can register for the program by contacting the Wise County Extension office at (940) 627-3341, or stop by the office at 206 S. State St., Decatur Texas.
