Fisheries Management:
Tri-County Pond is stocked annually with approximately 200 yearling rainbow trout and is managed as a put-and-take rainbow trout fishery. Some largemouth bass were stocked into the pond in 2002 in hopes that they would establish a self sustaining population and control crappie recruitment enough to allow the remaining crappie to reach quality size.
