Thanks for the info, I think I will try the t-post and wire mess. If anyone has more suggestions please post.

Now guess what? I saw hundrends maybe thousands of fry. I can only guess they are FH, as the bluegill are only 3-4" long and dont seem old enough correct me if I am wrong.

The temperture here is still bouncing between the 50's and 60's with nights low around 30 to 40. We have even had a frost last nignt. I figured that it was still too cold for any specis to bred yet, but there they are. I noticed that there was different sizes, around three that I noticed so it apparently has been happening for some time.

Is this common or not, I was waiting until it warmed up a bit before placing pallets in the pond but it seems that I wont have too now.
