Not good for a forage pond where I could lift a lever and drain fish and water into big pond. Once, we discussed fresh water shrimp for lmb forage and a raceway might work with Tp and prawns for forage. Another reason why I have looked into a raceway. I am not sure it can be cost effective because of the necessity to feed Tp and the prawns verses growing out bg. Needs more thought lol


Tracy, could you dig a hatchery pond in the sand close to your big pond, and just use a liner? A close proximity to the big pond puts plumbing into play. A gate valve and piping could eliminate big nets and sore backs.

Just a thought. I like spending other people's money.
