Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations fishing poor - did my forage project work too well

Al. sorry for some of the inside humor. Sometimes things get out of hand. Not knowing the history of the pond, how and when it was built, did you build it, or was it there when you bought the property. First off, 4 acres is not a 'little' ponsd to many of us on the forum. Many have a fish in barrel situation and still have trouble catching them at times. It sounds like you have too many refuge places for game fish and forage. When and if your pond get lower next summer, you may began to thin out the fish holding areas to concentrate them more. Remove some blowdowns, dredge out some of the feeder creeks, remove some vegetation, etc. Common recommendations are 1 or 2 areas of cover per acre. Feeding in 1 or 2 areas will also help congregate the forage fish, thus the game fish.
