My thoughts is that it would be worth the $50-100 risk if the pond proves to be in need of a rehab. If pond hold well for the summer, I'll have a nice forage base built up for a fall stocking.


Maybe. The few logs, *if* they are in less than 24" water AND they are up off the bottom of the pond to allow the FHM to get underneath them will work, if they are resting on the bottom, then no, that cover will not work. Fatheads spawn on the underside of things, I've seen them using the underside of lily leaves to spawn on in a pond with no predators.
