This place is really the schnizzle...incredible views, plenty of room for a nice Morton, ample space for a natural "swimming" pool/pond, and is literally a hop outside of Lincoln - it's even closer than my place. I envision a beautiful double decker deck, beach, dock, and a kick arse rope swing not for the feint of heart.

When we sampled the BOW two months ago it yielded lots of 7-8" BG and I nailed a couple 15-17" LMB - WR all under 100 as Bruce indicated - guess this is due to the limited forage/habitat? There has to be millions of crayfish in this lake, and I think SMB and RES would perform really well and round out the fishery. Bruce can say what he wants, with all good intentions, but he'll be managing this lake by default within a year - I'd bet. He'll have a solid source of SMB with any luck, only a few miles away next year!

I love the Conderossa...in just two years I have made many memories, and would love to see it go to a pondboss family member - not some stranger. If anyone is interested in the Conderossa we'd have our places in close proximity - and I'd love to meet/hang/help out on projects with the new owner. I'd like to also mention, for absentee landowners, Bruce has a nephew who is a very intelligent, hardworking guy and knows all the ins and outs of the spread. In addition to several ponds that exist screaming for experimentations plus two with monsterous resident fish, I'd like to add there is lots of timber, rolling hills, a live creek, many morel mushrooms, and turkeys, quail and pheasants.

Did I mention you also get to be my neighbor/buddy? [Hope that's not a deal breaker!]
