The pond is in south central Kansas. All three fish dealers around here recommend CNB. I wanted to add redears for the parasite control. Since longears are plentiful here my kids have been adding those as well. My goal is to have a small LMB and BG pond that is easy to fill and maintain water in. My overflow is a gentle channel to one end that flows to another potential pond site. My pond is 9–10’ deep with a steep slope on one side and a gradual slope on the other, which is also the watershed fill side. I cut in a 2-3’ deep shelf that runs about 50’ along the gradual slope hoping BG will use it for spawning. In hindsight I should of just cut the slope steep all the way around. I will be aerating as soon as I trench a 500’ long trench for airline from my shop. As far as adding trees, I figured the pear was temporary but wanted the 2 dozen LES to have a hiding spot. I’ve been dropping artificial cover as well. Thanks for all feedback!!
