Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations A LAKE STORY WITH A NOT SO HAPPY ENDING SO FAR!

I guess that you are correct. It just seems a shame to fail to capitalize on the tremendous population of lunker LMB brought in from Lake Toho. That being said, with no funding or cooperation of any sort the fishery seems doomed to mediocrity.

I do like catching big bluegill but believe that the continual overdose of chemicals used to control the weed growth have hurt the micro organism's that should be present in our water. I have fished for bluegill off of my dock and about 6 inches seems to be the maximum length and they are not very thick either. I do not think there is enough food presently to grow the BG population to trophy size. That being said, there obviously are some nutrients as the waterway does seem to sustain decent crappie, healthy gizzard shad, and golden shiners. I really do not have enough knowledge to know what is best. Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
