Jawbone... try "MANAGING MICHIGAN PONDS FOR SPORT FISHING", by John D. Schrouder, available thru Michigan State University Extension, East Lansing, Mi. 48824 ($3.50)
Also "EARTH PONDS", The Country Pond Maker's Guide to Building, Maintenance and Restoration,
by Tim Matson, available from The Countryman Press, Woodstock, Vt. 05091 ($17.00)
The Managing Michigan Ponds book has more information than all the rest of the books I have on ponds (more that a dozen). It has chapters on Building Fish Ponds, Ponds as Places for Fish to Live, Kinds of Fish to Use in Ponds, Managing Warmwater Ponds for Fishing, Managing Coldwater Ponds for Fishing, Fish Population Control, Aquatic Plants and Their Control, Controlling Animal Nuisances, Fish Parasites and Diseases and several others. There dozens and dozens of pictures, graphs and diagrams.
Good Luck Jawbone. Where in Michigan are you located?
