New pond dug last summer that finally started filling after this winter. The pond is the typical(for my area I think) kidney shape, shallow on one end gradually sloping to 15ft at it's deepest point on the other end.I have 10 Christmas trees divided into 2 bundles(will be adding more as I collect them) 1 pile of clay tile 5ft dia. X 2ft high and will have some brick/concrete availbe later if needed, and two "spawning beds" 3ft wide X 4ft long, that are not currently under water. So I my need to add some smaller beds until the water rises?
My hope is to have a bass and bluegill pond.
I have read many post on starting with fatheads and bluegill, and adding the bass later. That all sounds good and makes since, but the confusing part is the numbers of fish and the time table to do it in. Each post has something diffrent, so what are the suggestions for my site? Any other species needed for the mix? Any other "structures" needed?
taking a deep breath, that was long
