Tom, the clear water means that your productivity isn't as high as a pond with excess nutrients being pumped into the food chain. I live near Janesville and most ponds and lakes around have the same characteristics. As long as there is enough nutrients available to start out your young fish, or baitfish, you should be allright. There are many ways to effectively manage a simple recreational fishery, especially since every pond, and pond owner are different.I or someone else from my company would be happy to stop out to talk sometime or give you info. Let me know, We will have a booth at the Madison Garden Expo on Feb. 7-9 also.
