Also wadded up some balls of chicken wire to put inside the baskets. Made 24 of them for about $30.00. And there is a picture of a dead turtle for you also. And a very hungry LMB. Update: Decided to cut slits in the middle rows of holes and shove a board (cedar shake)through for added minnow happiness. Will update with a picture when I get the boards in there.

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
