Thanks for the comments - please keep them coming! The pond is a lot of fun for my family. It is on 70 acres - and we camp, hunt fish often. We live about 18 miles away and vistit the pond several times a week. The Little Salmon River runs through the property (see photo above) so there is a lot of river fly fishing available besides the pond.

Snow is a big problem with our pond. We get several feet on the ground an atleast a couple feet on the ice for most of the winter. It is difficult to get to the pond during the winter because I do not maintain the road - this is one reason I am thinking about a windmill since the one I am looking at is able to run during the winter.

Here are a couple bad photos of the Sturgeon - they are hard to get photos of. Some day I hope to hook into one.
