Learninboutfish	I'm making some habitat for the small fish with the goal of increasing their survival rate to grow larger. These are 4'X4'X2' I'm thinking of placing them about 10 feet from my spawning beds. This one is a test and fastened together with plastic zip ties. I will be using stainless steel cable ties for the final product. Any suggestions? Attachments

Learninboutfish	Originally Posted by FishinRod Hopefully those CNBG are already headed to the spawning beds, which is the BG's best strategy to long-term survival with hungry LMB. Further, if your water level comes up soon, then hopefully the terrestrial weeds that become submerged will also help the survival rate of your fry and/or fingerlings. I've got video of several on the beds, there are beds in several areas in the pond. This LMB just cruises right past some eating size BG. EDIT - After looking closer this is a TGG, the tail is forked.

ewest	Rough up the plastic for better periphyton growth and put a couple of cinder blocks on top to hold it down.
