This past weekend my oldest son found a very effective way to remove many unwanted BG in addition to trapping and using a worm on a small hook with a spinning rod. First he used a pistol style kids crossbow after dark and removed 21. The next evening he took his fly rod with a nymph caught and removed 36 BG in an hour before dark. I put the pond thermometer in the water for readings of 82 degrees at the surface and 72 degrees in 8’ of depth. The BCP pulled off a spawn this year from the 250 3-5 inch stocked November 2020. YP also spawned this spring and are about 4-5 inches long at this point. I thinned more cattails, tested 5 different stains on the cabin, sprayed down about 5 acres of pasture to get upcoming fall food plots planted, weedeater around cabin, feeder, shooting bench and spent a lot of time in the water. Lots of fun had by all!
