Fish species in Southards Pond
Official stocking history
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Southards Pond belongs to the Carlls River system and is surrounded by undeveloped parkland. The south shore offers the easiest approach. Take particular care if wading: the northern end has more treacherous footing, so an inviting-looking opening is not enough reason to step in.
