Following up 1.5 years later. I ended up with about 1/10 an acre. I put in a couple of pounds of FHM, waited a couple months, then 70 BG and 20 RES. I fertilized and arerated it and by spring it was stacked with forage. I put in 6 LMB and they have cleaned it up pretty well.
I seem to be having some sort of leak issue... it will get full, stay full for weeks and then suddenly start rapidly draining. When it gets low, I see burrowing crayfish holes all over. I have packed them with bentonite, sprinkled a2 tons of bentonite in, and the hit it with 3 rounds of Dammit. Same thing keeps happening.
Can these stupid crayfish be the cause? It gets really low, like a 3 foot puddle in the center. I cant believe the fish survive but they have. I thought about draining it and putting a liner in but I really just dont like the look. Anything I am missing/anywhere ideas on how to manage it?
