Sorry about getting into fish management under building a dam. I'm the site admin at another site and have been seriously thinking about revamping the layout because many of the threads cross areas so much. I was thinking this morning that it might be interesting to have some areas where could follow ponds all the way through. What worked and what didn't.

The siphon worked extremely well.

I caught 2 bass, 1 bluegill, and maybe 8 green sunfish last night in about 45 minutes. The biggest bass was hooked in the gill of course. \:\( I was using jig with barbless hook and released it quickly, but it was bleeding... \:\(

As to the pond, I'm really not sure what to do now. I'm again considering a fyke net to try to remove as many green sunfish and bullheads as possible. Wondering if it wouldn't have been better for it to have siphoned dry and started over. Discouraged.
