Well, I don't think I can get enough willing participants to try and pull a 200' seine through the pond. As far as I know, the bottom is fairly clear from snags. What snags there were I have drug out of the water already. Most of the bottom is hard, there are some muddy spots in the shallower end but not too bad. I think I may try the 50' seine. I think I have a lot of good forage already established that survived the fish kill and still don't want to kill the rest off.

I would love to dig a couple "holes" in the pond to make it a litter deeper in spots. However, I am worried of having someone come in and hit a sand bar or void that will create a leak in the pond. Also, we don't have a ton of money to drop into the pond. So I'm trying to stay as cost effective, ie most bang for the buck, as I can.
