Pondenvy:

Be careful with rock bass. I have a 19 ac lake and over the last 2 years have been trying to get rid of them for the same reasons Bob Lusk stated here and Bill Cody stated to me in the past. There is only so much biomass in your body of water so be careful. I have LMB, SMB, yellow perch and bluegill in my warm water lake. Maybe in a year or two I will add walleye to the mix, therefore creating 3 predator fish and more potential pond management problems? But for the time being I am adding A 250 ton of rip rap rock along the east shoreline to create eddies in the water from the strong westerly winds to encourage natural spawning from these small lake type walleye in our area. Time will tell if they will reproduce? Just be careful about adding rock bass and upsetting your food chain.
