As for the stocking numbers...I've let my guy at the hatchery help work them out. The larger BG to spawn this year and the fatheads to feed the LM untill the spawn. I have been putting in structure for months now and it is pretty developed. Tire piles, pallet rafts, block and brick piles, felled trees laying of the banks, bails of farm fencing.

Being just a stones through from the big lake (Michigan) creating rip-rap is something of an art form...started with 2' 2' 6' cement blocks from my ready mix plant dumped those in, then came the field stone from our farm, two dump trucks worth. then one dump of pea gravel on that. this is an area against one bank 200' long and from 15' deep up to 3'. I would think that the crayfish should love this area along with the SMB. thanks for the tips on the differant kinds of crayfish...don't know if I can remove them from lake Michigan or not.
