Start-to-Finish Fisheries Management
At AES, we approach every lake with precision and purpose. Our start-to-finish fisheries management strategies begin before the lake is even built with our expert construction consulting and guidance. From there, we will provide guidance through the construction process, and develop robust habitat plans to implement before the lake has filled. This allows us to ensure that the finished lake contains the most effective structure to promote trophy growth and unparalleled forage recruitment to drive your fishery’s success.
After the lake is finished, our expert biologists collaborate with you to design a tailored Fisheries Management Plan that delivers on your goals, growing trophy fish quickly so you can spend more time fishing and less time worrying about the health of your lake.
Combined with an annual service program, we will work diligently to maintain your pond holistically, providing expert support in all aspects of lake management. This start-to-finish lake management approach ensures your lake stays beautiful and healthy, continuing to provide lasting memories rather than a headache.
