Thanks everyone for your replies. I have had a call in to our regional fisheries biologist for about two weeks now with no response. I have been intending to call him again, but haven't had time during his work hours. Next week maybe.

I am looking at putting some of the surrounding land into the CRP program. Some in trees and possibly some in prairie grasses.

I will probably leave as many trees as I can in unless biologist advises otherwise.

I will probably go with the Bass, Bluegill, and Red-ear combination. Would like to have a few others such as Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Hybrid Stripers, etc.; but they don't sound practical.
