Hello!

I joined this forum about a year ago and asked some questions about ponds that didn't belong to me and everyone was very helpful.

I'm proud to announce that I am now the owner of my own pond! So, I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.

The first thing I know I have to do is remove the trees from my earthen dam. They are about 7 years old and almost all pines. I know I need to get them off but I'm wondering if I need to treat the stumps with something so that they don't become "straws" when they dry out.

I searched the site before I posted this question but I didn't find any info on this particular situation.

What do y'all recommend?

BTW: I'm in Georgia if it makes any difference.


If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?
