About Bjornsen Pond Management

Pond managers, fisheries biologists, and pond supply experts

Bjornsen Pond Management is a pond and lake management company based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We help pond owners build healthier water and better fishing through electrofishing surveys, fish stocking, vegetation control, pond construction, and land management. In addition, our online store ships pond supplies to all lower 48 states.

Your Full-Service Partner for Pond and Lake Care

Our team includes fisheries biologists, experienced pond managers, and product specialists. Together, we know what it takes to build a healthy, good-looking pond that fishes well. So whether you are starting from scratch or improving an existing fishery, we are here to help.

We bring decades of hands-on experience with ponds of every kind. For example, we work with private landowners, HOAs, golf courses, hunting and fishing clubs, and cities. As lifelong Iowans, we also know what works in our climate. Today, we also serve pond owners throughout Iowa and surrounding states.

Most importantly, we let the facts lead. So every plan starts with real data, often from an electrofishing survey, instead of guesswork. As a result, your pond looks better, fishes better, and stays that way.

The Bjornsen Difference

  • Experience You Can Count On

    Our team at Bjornsen Pond Management is made up of seasoned professionals with lifelong experience in pond, fisheries, and land management. Backed by strong credentials and real-world know-how, we deliver practical solutions that get results.

  • Quality Products

    We don’t just sell pond products—we test them on our own properties. Over the years, we’ve rejected hundreds of products that did not perform as advertised. If it’s in our store, it’s because it works. For example, our PondFit™ Beneficial Bacteria contains five times more colony-forming beneficial bacteria units than competitive brands for faster, more effective results. We couldn’t find a bacteria that met our standards, so we made our own! Our pond dyes? The highest pigment concentrations on the market. Every recommendation we make is backed by proven performance.

  • Superior Fish Genetics. Proven Results.

    Not all fish are created equal. We stock only from hatcheries focused on elite genetics—because that’s the key to building a true trophy fishery. We often travel farther and pay more to bring you the best. Equally important is developing a stocking plan for your specific pond. Predator to prey ratios are necessary to you ever reaching your fish growth goals. If you’re serious about growing big, healthy fish, it starts with superior genetics—and we never settle for less.

  • Our Fleet. Your Advantage.

    With our own fleet of fish stocking trucks and electrofishing boats, we control our schedule—not someone else. And with our own hatchery tanks and nursery ponds, we bring in genetically superior fish and grow them to the sizes that will work best in your pond. All of this means timely, year-round service tailored to what’s best for your pond.

  • Expert Support. Fast Shipping. Online or In-Store.

    Whether you shop online or in person, our product specialists are here to help you find the right solutions and apply them correctly. And with fast, reliable shipping across the U.S., you get what you need—when you need it.
