Thanks very much for the advice. Yes, it is into the water table, when I checked its depth this winter it was 11 to 12 in the middle, and rising. You could see rings around the shore where the ice was diffrent thicknesses.
I suspected that walleye wouldn't spawn in that size pond, I have asked a few of my proffesors about it. I will be doing some water testing this spring to get a base line for fertility.
I like the idea of smallies, but don't like the idea of not having bgill. I love smallies, last spring I caught a 19" and 20" in the BWCAW, im addicted. Its a trade off.
Then my next question would be, Where to get them? I tried to find a private hatchery in my area but couldn't find anything with in three hours. So I have no idea where to get any fish. Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated.
