The creek only has fish in a couple number of holes. Otherwise it is just a couple of inches deep. The hole I will be pumping out of is about 20 by 20 and water runs into it constantly. I did catch two largemouth about 12 inches and were fat as could be. I did however catch a small green eared sunfish. The existing pond was 1.3 acres and was pumped down to 1 acre and 3-4 feet lower to add to the existing dam. The additional 3 acres has been constructed but is empty. The old pond slowly trickles into the new area due to two springs running into it. The old pond has a good population of blue gill and large mouth bass. It also has a few crappie and 10 or less channel.
