Springtime,yeah!!
We are doing try number three to stock some Wipers. The first time, 2008, when we lowered the lake to build the cabin. That year the lowered lake made a channel dry and Scott put a net across it and put in wipers when it filled. But a heavy rain washed out the net and the bass got in and wiped out the wipers.
Try two was several years ago in a separate pond on farm but apparently some bass had swum upstream from the lake when the pond was overflowing and again most were wiped out.
So now we are stocking another separate pond, a quite small one that we are sure has no bass. We stocked 100 wipers and 10lbs of fatheads. we will seine them out in a couple of months and put in the lake.
Adding the wipers
The boys and I spent the weekend and they did a little fishing.
