My ponds were dry for the past three years, maybe more (I just bought the place a few months ago), up until two weeks ago. We filled almost four acres of ponds in just over two weeks. Amazing.

Stocking starts tomorrow morning, BG's and CC's for now, lots of fatheads to grow in some additional ponds on the property; we'll need to feed the walleyes we plan to plant in the fall.

Like Shorty, we've got a pretty good watershed (and a well and pump, albeit not a mighty machine) and that's been a real blessing of late. We'll see how things hold up.

BTW, I'm (obviously) really new here but was directed to the site by a fish wizard. You people are awesome, smart and willing to share. I'm blessed to be here and looking forward to learning and telling about my mistakes. If history's an indicator, I'll have lots to contribute...on the mistakes side.

Thanks to everyone in advance for your knowledge, patience and willingness to support the addiction.


Be the fish.
