Hello.

I guess it is the same for many member.
So here is what I would like to do to eliminate this problem.

So, for the nests and rocks to always stay clean, I would like to make a breeding pond of about 8ox8o feet, and all around this pond there will be a 6 feet strip full of small rocks on the strip and large rocks on the sides.

In the spring I will monitor the water temperature and close to 8 to 10c I will raise the water in the pond to have 2 to 3 feet of water on the strip, and when the Smallmouth have finished I will let the water go down, so the strip will be dry all summer until next spring.

What do you think.
