OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE.

Trophy Pond is a Tennessee fish hatchery and lake and pond management company. We’re the only hatchery in Tennessee that raises pure Coppernose Bluegill and pure Florida largemouth. We adapt our fish to Tennessee winters, which means they’ll thrive in your pond. We’re the world’s only commercial producer of hand-painted bluegill. We are the only pond construction company in Tennessee whose general contractor is also a fisheries biologist: we don’t make the mistakes that excavators with no knowledge of fish make, which can mean the difference between a memorable pond and a failing one.

  • Trophy Pond has managed our large pond for years. I struggled to find a "pond professional" in the Mid-Tennessee region and was overjoyed when I met Walt about 5 years ago. He handled the stocking of fish, aeration, feeding, and general oversight of our 8 acre pond since then. He is a very honest and well versed professional that knows what it takes to keep our pond's ecosystem functioning at it's peak year round. He is always there to answer a question or address and respond to any concern we've had. I would highly recommend Walt & Trophy Pond to anyone that wants to add a pond or manage an existing one!!

  • Walt has done an amazing job with our pond taking it from a hole in the ground with a few small fish to a real trophy pond. Walt is passionate about what he does and it is reflected in his knowledge and expertise in pond management.

  • After interviewing 3 companies in 2016 I hired Trophy Pond Management to begin a 2 phased campaign to maximize the fishing experience on our family farm. First, to help with our existing 2 acre pond which had bluegill and F1 bass. Walt and I fished this pond for the better part of a day and caught several fish. The largest F1 was 1.5 lbs and the largest bluegill was .6 pounds. After 4 years of Trophy Pond Management we have caught bluegill up to 2 lb 14 ozs and F1 bass 10 lbs +. Proof is in the pudding! In Phase 2, Trophy Pond built and is now managing a 9 acre pond which we hope to produce record Florida bass. Professional, Experienced, Knowledgeable, Trophy Pond delivers.

  • Walt runs a great company. Trophy Pond Management does not simply throw fish in a lake and hope it works. They take a more scientific approach to it to help get the most out of your lake. Whatever your goals are for a lake they can make it happen. They will also maximize the value you get no matter the size of your budget. Very easy company to work with. Everyone on our lake is happy with how well our lake has produced for the last three years.
