Is rain water OK for ponds?

Chef's answer

New or idle crawfish ponds should be stocked with approximately 50 to 60 pounds of crawfish per acre. Add more if pond (or crawfish) conditions are questionable, and less if crawfish are already present. Stock healthy crawfish (sacrificed individuals generally have bright yellow fat).
