Good morning, First post here. I help manage a property in Cisco TX with a 4 acre lake. The dam broke a few years back but has been repaired and holds water well. We were surprised to find last year that there are LMB in it. Even more so we were surprised at how many. I’ve caught 30 in a day. Some were very large, most were young and none looked to be stunted.

Before we stock with baitfish we need to correct the FA issue we have. The water clarity is at least 4ft of visibility. I know that is bad and we likely need to fertilize. There’s very little vegetation in the lake currently.

I am curious on what is recommended for fertilizing in this area and how to apply it? Also is March too soon? Should I start with a water sample? Can I get those on Amazon?

I think that is step 1. I think we also need to start pulling a lot of the mid sized bass out to reduce the population when we stock.

I’m trying to get started on this here in the next month or two so thanks in advance for the help!
