Thanks, Wasn't familiar with coppernose at all. So much to think about. and it seems, never enough time. Right now I hope to have enough of a base of the food chain come thaw, add some forage fish early, get BG and RE in before summer starts and then attempt the bass late summer/early fall and hope they make it through. I don't want to be overly cautious, but I don't want to waste money either.
It's all good!
Would it be beneficial to "seed" some plankton, fairy shrimp etc from some of the vernal pools I have?
