AMERICAN AQUATICS is experienced in managing lakes and ponds to provide the maximum recreational opportunities for the owners. Lakes and ponds are complex systems
that require the development of a management plan that takes into account not only the biology but the requirements of the owner.
Some owners want to catch big bluegill, bass or catfish
while others want a pretty view. Still other lake owners want to use the lake for hunting. Usually owners want a combination of these uses. That is where AMERICAN AQUATICS
can be most useful.
We will evaluate the fish populations and structure of your lake by seining, electrofishing and/or netting. This allows us to determine the current status
of the lake. We will interview you to determine what your needs and desires are for the lake so that these can be used as drivers to develop the lake management plan.
The lake
management plan is a summary of the fish population surveys and detailed recommendations to achieve the goals that
the owner has set for the lake. Recommendations can include fertilization, stocking, harvest restrictions, water level management, aquatic plant management, habitat management or other related topics. Recommendations are based on the status of the lake and the needs of the owner.
Some of our clients who followed our management plans catch fish at ten times the rate of public waters. They catch large
bass and giant bluegill and lots of them. These lake are used by waterfowl, deer, doves, turkeys and other wildlife.
Our staff of biologists have more than 100 years collective
experience in dealing with aquatic systems. Our President, J. Fred Heitman, is a Certified Fishery Scientist by the American Fisheries Society. We have the experience, permits,
equipment and training to help you improve your lake.
