Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Sugar Creek Fishery

Keith,

The railroad ties will work as Stoney Creek in Michigan built a few trout ponds like that years ago, but they were outside. I do have wonder if they will give off a strong creosote odor inside, or whatever they are treated with. Possibly not.

Edit: I did some checking and it seems the railroads are now using a boron preservative. Perhaps this would be less odorous?

Lynch seined his ponds a week or two ago, so if you want fish I would contact him in early March or possibly a little earlier.
