Fall is for Fishing... Electrofishing

Electrofishing in the fall provides a wealth of information about the success of fish populations.

In order to truly gauge a fishery’s balance and progress, scientifically measuring fish increases in weight and count allows the experts at AES a more decisive, data-driven picture to assist you in achieving the fishery of your dreams. 

Whether your personal fishery goals are to catch trophy fish, to provide subsistence for your family, for commercial use, or to add the finishing touches to a beautiful landscape investment, electrofishing allows AES biologists to check up on the success of fish populations following spring spawns and forage population abundances in order to recommend supplemental stockings to bolster the growth of predator species prior to winter.

Measuring largemouth bass conditions in the fall allows a less biased health and weight status without the presence of female bass egg weight. With evaluating the size structure of your bass population, we can customize a rainbow trout forage stocking plan to maximize growth of the bass over the fall/winter months.

The fall season also is a great time to take care of additional predator harvesting to achieve annual quotas, settling the pond up for a more balanced season next year. Call the experts at AES today to get on the schedule.
