Thanks Bob.
Our conversation got me a long way down the road to setting up a plan. You were a great help and have considerable knowledge. I will begin to lay this to paper today so I can submit to our fledgling fishing club. The stocking rates will be the 1st order of business and I will start to collect some water analysis data this month.
As I mentioned, we actually have 2 lakes in the community. The larger lake is 60 acre and averages 8-9' depth with a deep end near 20' near the dam where excavation took place. The smaller lake is 35 acre with an average depth of 12-15' depth and deep end near 35' near the dam. Both lakes have shallow mitigation wetlands built right into the lakes where aquatic wetlands plants will be grown. These should provide good nursery areas for baitfish.
I will e-mail you a couple of pdf files showing the bigger lake design. Feel free to drop by anytime you are in the area and I will take you fishing. I would also like to get a rate sheet from you on management services you might be able to provide such as electrofishing etc. We will need to start to lay out our operating budgets, and having some cost information will help us do that
