I’ve been thinking for about a year now about what would make a great kid’s pond. It’s something that would really be fun to do and now that I am confident I no longer will need a HSB grow-out pond, the opportunity is here. Based on my experiences and several posts on the Forum, including Russ’s recent thread, I’ve developed the following plan:
1) Drain and clean out the current grow out pond 2) Stock Rio Grande’s and CNBG and a few fatheads this fall. 3) Add about 2 dozen female LMB next spring along with 2 pounds of Tilapia
The Rio’s are a colorful fish that would evict the oooohhh’s and aaawwws’s from kids when they catch them. The CNBG will grow to large sizes with the LMB present. The Tilapia will keep the pond clean and provide an occasional surprise catch. The key is limiting the LMB to female only.
Plan swings into action this weekend beginning with step 1. I’ll post some pictures of progress. As always comments/suggestions welcome.
