So got wife pregant had little boy now im back for help
Here wat I got

60 year old man made pond spring ground water
3/4 acre no inlet or outlet
shape round trees around 3/4 of it
was over 15' deep at one point
filled in with leaves, pine, ect
no cattails or duckweed
real thick weed on bottom looks like "pine tree"
depth finder shows 7' in deep hole but lots of weeds
water real clear can see 4' down noproblem
lots of rainbow cubs
have planted bluegills and a catfish made it 1 year found at ice out dead. minnos make it every year
ice gets about 2 1/2' thick

So I want it back to 15'
less weeds
fish all year "for my boy"

talked to a guy with hydraulic dredge said two 10 days of work he could remove all weeds and muck for "big bucks"

so let me hear it from the pros, am I just going to have minnos or is this fixable?

MY boy is 9 months would like his first fish to be in the pond...

Thanks for any info

Hey UNM Whenever I get confused about what fish I too get my wife pregant..:)....In your situation I think it wise to listen to Nancy Pelosi and............ "drain it"


Or at least put in some practice time!
