No matter if you’re a new pond owner and need to correct the mistakes of past owners, or a longtime caretaker of a pond or lake and need some skilled and specialized assistance to help your body of water live up to expectations, our team has the right solutions for you. Let the certified professionals at Lochow Ranch provide you with a detailed on-site assessment of your pond’s condition. After every pond management or lake management consultation, we provide you with a report of your lake’s condition and our management recommendations. It’s the starting point from which we can develop a solid plan for moving forward.

Keeping fish populations balanced and your lake healthy is our area of expertise. Leading factors that impact the equilibrium in your lake include over-harvesting of desirable fish, under-harvesting of predator fish, introduction of undesirable species, summer kills, excessive weeds, poor water quality, and a lack of fertilization. We assess fishery populations using nets or shocking equipment, plus we use state-of-the-art equipment to collect data and determine your stocking needs, harvest restrictions and the health of your fish population — all while keeping your specific goals and needs in mind.

We maintain a reference library of professional resources and past successes and are always adding new methods of management to our time-tested systems in order to provide you with truly first-class services. This combination of time-tested methodology and innovative new techniques sets us apart.

With locations in Bryan, Texas, and Tyler, Texas, we’re ideally situated to reach your property quickly and get to work serving your pond management and lake management needs as soon as possible. Contact us today to start on the path towards owning a pond or lake that meets your needs, whether that’s one that simply adds beauty and diversity to the landscape, a quality all-around fishery, or a true 12-pound-plus trophy bass lake.
