CJBS2003, You mention in a post here that it can be VERY hard to keep a forage species around for long in a pond with very steep banks. Unfortunately for me that is what I've got. I've probably got 80% of my shoreline with banks of 2.5:1 or steeper. Vegetation only grows out from shore about 10 feet for most of the pond. I siphoned this winter for a full renovation. I just ordered a box of GS from Anderson's and will also add FHM and BG this spring and LMB either fall 2009 or spring 2010. I'm hoping to grow some big bass. Any more detail about steep banks and forage fish would be great. Any suggestions? Is it even going to be possible to keep a healthy forage base in my pond?
Thanks,
Mark
