Not sure where to put this post.

We have a .75 acre private pond in the U.P. of MI. that we just stocked with hybrid BG. A little over 200 to start with. We want to manage it for BG. Approx. 80% of the bank is covered with Alder brush. About 10% of the surface has Lilly pads. Until we stocked it the only life in the pond was minnows, frogs, and turtles. There are Cormorants in the area. We intend to introduce Walleye next year to help control the BG population.

Our fear is that the Cormorants will cause the size of the BG to stay smallish.

Is there a way to keep these guys away? No one lives on the property.

Will they, in the long run, help with the management?

I'm sure there are other guestions to ask, but for now I can't think of any others.
