Critterhunter, Welcome to the greatest website in the world!!! I too just aquired an exsiting lake recently and here's a nickles worth of free advice. First, Read all posts pertaining to your situation, this website has it all! Second, buy the books Basic Pond management, and Raising Trophy Bass, You will find everything from fish stocking formulas to planting brushpiles and a whole lot more. And last of all, keep asking questions. ENJOY! These things have helped me a ton and come this spring I will be ready and informed to get to work on my own trophy fishery
