Went fishing last Thursday, it was a beautiful day. I caught 5 13-15" LMB. I was amazed to find this after the DNR study last fall. I did not catch any of the BG or SF since they would not bite. Perhaps they are all running for their lives with the recent LMB introductions.
We are adding a display aerator to the pond this fall. The guy who is selling it to us is a retired DNR employee. I asked him how they were getting in to the pond. He told me the myth of birds carrying them in is not possible. He told me that they are swimming upstream as someone said earlier. He told me that he has seen them do it. So it appears that I will never completly rid the pond of them, even after we dredge it. All I can do is get them under control then add the HBG in big numbers to get going in the right direction. Thanks for all of your help!
