Many factors affect a lake's quality, but it is often the lake's fishery or lack of one that people equate with the "quality" of the lake. Pond Squad recognizes this and is involved with the management of many lake ecosystems throughout the Midwest. Our specialists evaluate fisheries, make recommendations, and implements ecologically sound fishery management practices to enhance or rehabilitate the recreational value of the fishery. Pond Squad maintains electro fishing, netting and laboratory equipment for fishery inventories and assessments. When major lake rehabilitations take place such as dredging or draining for dam repairs, Pond Squad may salvage fish from those lakes, restocking them in holding areas or other lakes where they can be reutilized. Fishery management by simply restocking fish, without a management program can simply be a waste of time and resources. A quality fishery does not just happen; it is made and developed with quality assessments, management planning and with proper rehabilitation efforts for the whole ecosystem. Pond Squad offers the following fishery services:

aquatic plant assessments, management and rehabilitation biological assessments, management and rehabilitation electro fishing surveys exotic species assessments, management and rehabilitation genetics analyses growth analyses and aging habitat assessments, management and rehabilitation lake and pond assessments, management and rehabilitation long-term monitoring and management programs netting operations on site chemical analyses pesticide applications rough fish removal river, creek and stream assessments, management and rehabilitation species population assessments, management and rehabilitation threatened and endangered species assessments, management and rehabilitation water quality assessments, management and rehabilitation
