Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Long time no see! Back for more advice.

WM3- Use the Managing MI Ponds as a guide. You may need to thin a few bass in a year or two. remove any that are thin. Plump bass after mid June indicates they are well fed. Bass will feed heavily on the mudminnows first and probably eliminate them from the pond; maybve they are already gone. Bass numbers and weight conditon will probably be good until the first bass hatch grows to about 8"-12" long. Pay close attention at this time. Then things will tend to get too crowded bass wise and forage numbers will start to decline.

Your thinking on pond depth in MI is good.
