I've got a few pics here somewhere. I'll post them as soon as I can figure out how.
The first pond has all the standard stuff. FHM,GSH,BG,HBG,LMB,CC,BC and somehow some GSF. All geared towards big BG and Crappie to eat.
What I'd like to do different with the new pond besides try YP is to make it a much more natural habitat. The first pond was just a big flat bottomed bowl. He left a few boulders in there and the kids helped me make some brush piles but thats about it.
The new area has an old creek bed,some small draws where field stone was piled. Thought we might leave remnants of the old stock pond dam as an underwater ridge. The upper part of the pond has Oak,Hickory,Willow and Hedge trees which will be flooded. Would also like to leave some shallow mud flat areas where we can get some type of cover established. I didnt allow for that with the first pond. The sides were angled to avoid weed problems and as a result I'm having trouble getting good cover established along the edges. I dont know where they are hiding but the FHM's have been able to hang on
