Well I've caught and moved 18 browns and 19 brooks to the new pond where the holding net was installed. Method of capture is hook and line and a panfish jig with the barb crimped down. Fish are netted ASAP and moved to the new pond which is only a few feet away. Once I can't catch anymore on the panfish jig I switch to the pantyhose pellets. Once that doesn't work anymore I drain the pond and dip the remaining fish out.

I originally planted 75 browns and alledgly 100 brooks. I do know of 2 brown and 2 brook mortalities. I question I actually got 100 brooks from my source. But that is another story.

Here is one of the browns. About 17 inches. Fish was about 7 or 8 inches one year ago.



Here is one of the brooks. About 13 inches. This fish was also about 7 or 8 inches a year ago.





Here is the blocking net as it looks in the pond that has now been filled up. Brooks on the left and browns on the right.




Here is a before picture:

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
