🎣 Boyd Pond Fishing Update 🐟🌿

We know many of you are excited about improving the fishing opportunities at Boyd Pond, and we’re excited too!

Our stocking efforts continue to as we are working toward a small supply of bluegill in the coming months, followed by plans for channel catfish in the spring.

Following the guidance of our pond management vendor the gradual approach will allow for building a healthy fish population which takes time. Along with stocking, we’ll be evaluating opportunities for removal of aquatic vegetation and other options for habitat growth to support fish populations and the overall health of the pond.

This is a long-term effort — not a one-time stocking. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work toward a healthier pond and better fishing at Boyd Pond! 🎣

Wednesday, July 22 at Boyd Pond Park. We’ve got two separate flex start events ready to go!

EVENT B – Strong signups already rolling in for a midweek tournament!

EVENT CC – Still plenty of room. Come join the fun!

https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/BCC_Classic_presented_by_Watch_my_Toes_II_fueled_by_Adrenaline_Heaven_Sports_EVENT_CC_2026

Pro tip: You can play one or both! Finish your first round, swing back by Tournament Central to check in for the second flex start whenever you’re ready. Two rated rounds, same awesome property, and you can still make it to PK Dubs that evening. That was our goal and why we set final tee times after speaking with Steven.

Don’t miss out on this midweek Clay Country throwdown. The more the merrier!

Big Clay Country. Big Energy. Big Classic.
