Thanks Greg.

I am budgeting for around $ 10,000 per year to go directly into the fisheries, more if needed.

I plan on continue removing bass. In the meantime I will look at fertilizing this common year after winter. If I remember correctly I should start fertilizing when the water reaches 60 degrees. How much fertilizer would you suggest and what would be the cheapest way to fertilizing the lake? I am having a difficult time locating a fertilizer distributor here out West. What are your thoughts on Southern Excellence product with the floating buckets?

I don't have any weed issues and there is is not new water flow into the lake other than just to maintain the water pool level. We do get draw down due to evaporation and for some irrigation uses below the dam.

I plan on stocking adult Florida strain bluegill in big numbers (1,000 at a time - they sell for over $ 3.00 per fish) this spring plus a few thousand pounds of 10 - 12" trout this winter as a start.

Thanks!

Dave
