I’m a lucky guy - got to go to Al’s place today to view his current forage/grow-out pond and discuss and plans, but first an introduction to a “jaw dropping” beautiful view of his place:
Al will give an update to his plans and objectives, but long story short - he is starting over on stocking and forage since his little pond was flooded last year and discovered LMB encroachment. I had an opportunity to observe his draining and discussion about seining and stocking plans:
Eric, Al has plans to dig another small pond for brood fish but after I had a close view and how it was constructed, I immediately thought about your success with “blocking nets. I suggested that he review your experience - could you provide links to your posts?
This approach may prove useful for this year’s program until time permits for his new small pond?
Al, thanks for a great day and opportunity to learn some new pond management tricks!
George
