A quick update.
I was out yesterday talking to a local pond consultant I'm thinking about using (to handle things like chemical treatments, electro-survey, order some of the smaller batch stuff I'll need etc). Anyway, we talked about the idea of using cage grow outs in pond #1 to put fish into #2 & #3 and how that would work and what it would mean to my overall plan.
Long story short, we have identified a few places to dig some small staging ponds. These will built to be easy to drain...I will have 1 for LMB and 1 for HBG. So, that means I get to use pond #1 as a regular fish pond....so I gotta figure out what species I want to try and an overall management plan.
Any suggestions? I'd love to get creative and do something a bit unusual...just don't know what.
I hope to take the camera up to my place this weekend and get some better pictures of everything that's going on.
