It's been quite a while...
An update is well over due.
I've been able to get quite a bit done. And failed at the main things.
I have completely cleared off the dam and can now easily walk around the entire pond.
Early this spring I made a syphon and brought the water way down. Cleared many of the dead trees and limbs from the bottom.
With a trash pump I had the water to about 15% left then we got a huge rain and basically filled it back up. The pond looks way better now.
My main problems are still there. Way to much muck / sludge and plenty of bullheads.
I have been using a pump and moving it around the bottom sucking up the muck. I figure I will never get it done this way but I also figured I have plenty of time.
The Bullhead issue is still frustrating me. While the water was low one evening we watch many many bullheads swing near the surface. The site was sickening but gave me an idea. I thought about setting up a feeder and "training" the fish to eat at a certain time. And maybe net them or catching them somehow.
How bad of an idea would it be to add a couple musky or northerns in the pond?
Thanks
