Has anyone been using domestic ducks and geese to help fertilize their northern waters? I have been doing this for 2 years. I started out with 16 domestic ducks and geese in my 19 acre clear gravel pit. In 2004 with reproduction my #'s increased to around 80 living into 2005 with many wild Canada geese flying in and out. I lose some fowl to predatation of foxes and coyotes along the shorelines. The results appear to be reduced water visibility to 4-6'range from 8-10', hopefully with increased plankton and zooplankton blooms for the yoy BG, LMB/ yellow perch. In addition the fowl help control water vegetation throughtout the lake.
I would like to hear from other who are using this method or have in the past. Thanks
