You Can Walk On 'Em - 06/05/11 02:16 AM
Well, Gents, my bluegill that were stocked last fall have been on their nests for the last three weeks...their little colony looks like a moonscape with a lot of activity. Both bluegill and FHM fry are wall to wall in my 1 acre pond, so my fingerling bass that were stocked the middle of May should have plenty to feed on. It is hard to believe how many fry those bluegill can generate.
A pond is like the field of dreams...if you build it, they will come. It's been fun to watch life develop: plankton blooms, frog and toad eggs, tadpoles, turtles, fish spawning and those crazy water bugs that move about 60 miles an hour going in circles. Funny how a pond takes you back to being a kid, no matter how old you are.
