There are small numbers of pumpkinseeds, very few bluegill and minnow-like fish everywhere. We have yet to see one fish that is big enough to catch and have not been able to catch any fish. The ph level was normal. Should I be concerned about there not being any big fish or is this a great opportunity to stock smallmouth bass? I have heard that it was full of crappie at one time. Thanks for any input.

I'm a little confused about your post. You said the fishing is fantastic but then said you've yet to see any fish that are big enough to catch. Are you saying you want to stock the pits that your 10 acre strip flow into? Or are you saying the 10 acre strip has lost its good fishing and you want to restock it?
