Austin, what were your initial ideas for a creative fishery in the father-in-laws pond? IMO the field tile entering the pond is questionable especially if the tile drain agricultural fields. Do some N&P periodic monitoring and testing of the tile water after crop fertilizer application and 1" rains. The tile drainage can accelerate the eutrophication and associated plant problems.

What do we know about musky management in ponds 1-5 acres? Are musky and hybrid musky that much different than northern pike? Why can we raise more pounds of bass per acre than musky?. Is their food conversion efficiency different than that of a LMB?.
