The water level finally came up and is currently 24" from full so I decided to place my FHM spawning structures. I ended up using 24 8"x18" concrete pads and some old 5 hole bricks.
I placed them 5-10 feet apart ranging a from 18-36" below where full pool will be to accommodate water fluctuations. I placed them in 3 different areas of the pond to spread them out.
Do I need to wait until the water clears some more before stocking with FHM? There is currently nothing stocked in the pond, I have noticed a few minnows, turtles and bull frogs that have made their self at home in the pond.
I am also going to out camp this weekend to do some fishing and will most likely bring some golden shiners home. Is there any reason not to stock them along with the FHM? This will be a BG/Bass pond.
