Bill,
I haven�t stocked a single fish!
There are indigenous fish (NP, LMB, SMB, BG, YP, BH, etc.) because the pond was connected to an adjacent river during the summer for drainage purposes (three-four months each year) for the ten years it took to mine the gravel. The final closing to the river occurred in November of 2005.
I have allowed all reasonable persons to fish the pond, with the requirement that they don�t release any undesirable fish back into the pond. An 18lb Northern Pike was the largest undesirable last summer. I have a hard time calling that undesirable, but it really doesn�t fit the �plan�.
I considered rotenone to clear out everything and start over, but that is not legal here.
For stocking, any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks - Dwight
