Well the drought was so bad here in Georgia that I was about to give up on pond management!!!I built my lake 6 years ago and it just filled up this last April!!! 3 year ago I built a 2 acre lake on a good flowing stream to devert the water over into this 9.5 acre lake. Effectivly doubling it's water shed! "ever heard of anyone doing this?"lol. Any, after finishing the lake we hit the drought so my adding 120 acres of water shed was off set by no rain.. Well the 2 pond lake filled up. I did not really care about it. the 9.5 acre lake was a 5 acre pond because it was 4 feet down.

To make a long story short I have started foolin around with this little 2 acre pond. All it has really is some fish stocked from the state (Bluegill and Redear). I did throw a few bass in from the big lake and about 3 channel cats from the big lake. Then the guy who leased it threw in his fix of black bullheads. Now I got to get rid of the bullheads
