Well my pond has one finger off it and it is about 3ft at the deepest part then as it goes back it gets really shallow. I have a couple dead willow trees tied up in it and one Christmas tree. The baby fish are all hunkered down in this area now. So your telling me I would lose them in the winter in shallow areas if I was able to get them established.

Caught a 4lb CC last night smile Cut up a bluegill that had swallowed the hook and used it as bait. Really wanting to see if I can find anymore Flatheads! I find it really hard to believe he only put two in my pond. I hope he didn't but I would figure if he stocked them he put more than two.
