NE Chad's Pond: ELECTROFISH COMPLETE - 02/08/08 06:54 PM
Hi everyone... new member, thanks for the great resource!
Some friends and I have recently started managing a 5 acre pond. I'm new to this so it should be a good learning opportunity.
My question is, what should we be doing while there is still ice on the pond?
We ice fished it once and observed a large population of small, malnourished bluegill that appeared to be suffering the effects of low DO levels. The water was also turbid under the ice (looked a little yellow).
We plan on collecting a water sample this week for a jar test. Anything else we should be doing right now?
