DREAM POND - 12/15/16 09:30 PM
Recently I have been drawing up a pond that combines species from my two favorite lakes into a pond with habitat to support all of the species. My two favorite lakes are Lake of the Ozarks, MO and Lake Rabun, GA. These are both clear mountain lakes with lots of rocks, as well as many interesting different species. They also have lots of vegetation, I was thinking of implementing coon-tail along with possible some grass carp.
Species: Largemouth Bass, Hybrid White Bass, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, Green Sunfish, Golden Shiners, Threadfin Shad,
Others: Chain Pickerel, Smallmouth Buffalo, Spotted Gar,
I know that these would be hard to find as they are not well known sport fish, but they would be cool and interesting to try.
I can picture it now, each fish working in harmony with each other...
The perch and the sunfish all foraging in the grass beds, while overhead largemouth and hybrids are creating topwater explosions on the shad and shiners.
The giant buffalo wallowing in the shallows like manatees, and a pickerel slashing out from a patch of coon-tail as an unsuspecting shad ventures too far from the school.
So, with all of that being said, what are the flaws in my ludicrous plan? I know they exist, and want to hear and search for ways to remedy them. Also, leave a post below of what your DREAM POND, I love reading those posts.
