My delema. I have a 27yr old, 36 acre, man made lake across the street from my house. Max depth is 8 feet with some areas having 16" of sediment. The lake has virtually no habitate or structure for its bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, carp etc. No areation and its hot!! in Arizona. It is retention for Salt River Project Utility. AZ GFD has no control. For a scout project my son is building some habitat near the landing where a kids fishing tournament is held.
But my question to you pond pros is this. I see a lot of "early American" all wood kitchen furniture for sale cheap. Do you think that the stains or finishes would harm the lake or fish if I sunk a bunch???? Ric
