Hi Bruce,I'm hearing they won't spawn,no rock and gravel bottom,other people have tried and failed,waters too warm,they just won't make it.
As soon as I tell people I don't want any cc they start looking at me kind of funny,like, what do you want a pond for if you don't want catfish?By the time I start asking about smallies they figure I'm over the edge.
I'm hard headed and will try anyway if I can find some fish.I really hav'nt heard anything that will keep me from trying.Getting fish is prob. the biggest problem.
I was a plumbing contractor in another life and was involved in setting up several catfish tanks for the environmental science class at the local J.V.S.,if I can't get the fish I might try to grow them myself.
I was thinking put some SM in this fall,if they make it ,great,if not I can still stock the lmb.next spring.
Thanks Mike
