Thanks Tim, thats encouraging to say the least. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I'll wait till spring to see how the fish pop. is and go from there. I can't go with the coppernose due to frequent sub zero days here in Illinois, but I'm sure I have a good b-gill population already. The previous owner told me there was a 7&8 lb. bass caught a few years back so I know it's possible to raise bass in an environment like this, but clear water just gives me goosebumps. (I'm also a tournament fisherman!) Guess I'll work on my sight fishing skills!!! Like I said I just bought this property and I'm so excited, with a million things racing through my head I'll just have to slap myself from time to time and say "don't rush it, you've got plenty of time". I'll keep asking questions and soak up all the knowledge I can. Any more advice?
