Al, I went back to my small, about 1/8 acre, forage pond this weekend and it was also a nasty green but without any vegetation. I stocked it in 2006 with a couple hundred 1-2" CNBG and RES. It had some tiny native BG. Last year, I relocated several thousand by trapping and seining. I tossed in some pellets and saw only 2 inch BG of some type come up. Due to lack of rain, it is about 1/2 of full pool.
I haven't messed with it in about 7 months. Unworked forage ponds can be disastrous.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
