Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Cattails

I visited a pond at a nearby school around the time I was constructing my pond to observe an electroshocking demo by the ODNR. The pond was 1 acre excavated in the middle of a field with a clay bottom and completed surrounded with cattails. The water was crystal clear due to the plants pulling all the nutrients out of the water, according to the DNR people. The shocking survey turned up some very skinny bass, an 8# CC, a few small skinny BG and Green sunfish. No nutrients=no little fish food=no little fish=no big fish.
