I am getting close to raising the lake to full pool, but before I do, I want to create some spawning beds.

I have a roadbed that will be sumbmerged about 3ft below the surface. Is this feasable for spawning?

The bank edges transition to a 5 ft minimum through-out the whole 1 1/2 acre pond.

I was planning on putting about a 20' x 10' 4" layer of pea gravel on top of the road bed with some cinder blocks to hold the pea gravel in place. Should it be continuous or should I make 3 or 4 smaller beds?

Does this sound good or should I change my depths?

Will the bass also use these beds?
