The "good fishing" can be accomplished with a very wide range of methods...

The NO EFFORT (read - little effort) is to stock some BG, LMB, and CC and let it be what it will be. This is probably the most taken approach, but does not satisfy those of us with the idea that the BOW is a hobby rather than the occasional fishing trip.

The opposite end of the spectrum is to stock hybrids and/or channel cats with limited reproduction and feed the snot out of them a grow some big fish fast. All the while maintaining a log of fish taken, ladder stocking to keep the fishery productive, and fishing it regularly to maintain some sort of balance.

The difference between the two is expense, your time, and the risk of losing your investment.

At anyrate, try to enjoy your time on the other side of the big pond and spend your free time here at the forums...you'll be knee deep in your own pond soon!


Fish on!,
