It drops off immediately to 12-18 foot depths. There is virtually no littoral habitat, which is fine with me.

Believe it or not, I'm absolutely not interested in managing the BOW. It's fine the way it is, and if I involve myself in it, then if something goes wrong I'm to blame. \:\)

The currently philosophy seems to be working just fine, which is to maintain a complete C & R fishery for LMB (tigers, from what I'm told). This seems to be yielding the classic low Wr LMB population, with nice panfish potential.

CJBS is right on the money.

Current residents report some catches of larger individual LMB, which I'd assume are the cannibals.

I think I'll stick to managing the forty or so ponds on my list right now and let this one continue on it's merry path.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
