Wow! Thanks Bruce. This is a virgin pond but I have a concern about the lack of weed growth and cover for the fish. I plan to stock an F1 strain of bass in May and hope that some weed growth has taken root by then. In the meantime I went to the local dump after Christmas and loaded up a lowboy trailer full of discarded christmas trees and sunk them so they would at least have something to hold to. Any other thoughts on what I could do between now and then as far as the best line of pellet or size? Thank you.
