Norm, thanks for the details on your lake. Another question please: Did you put the concrete blocks in when your lake was empty? If you did it when the lake was full, how did you go about getting them into the water?
I've made a lot of rock beds by taking 10-20 5lb field stones out on my Pond Master boat. Hell of a lot of trips. I've done some by going out on the ice.
That grow pond seems to be a great idea. Do you think you'll be able to get some smallies to spawn in the upcoming grow pond?
I love catching smallies. As I just stocked some, I've got a few years to hopefully see some size (if predation doesn't cleam 'em out).
