I have a spring fed creek on my place. It’s one mile from the house. It starts about 150 yards upstream from my property line. I also have a 1/4 acre pond about 50 yards uphill from the creek. The creek gets fish from the pond when it overflows. Thus, it has channel cats, bluegills and green sunfish. I stop my 4 wheeler and toss pellets to the bluegills and GSF when I go to feed at the small pond.

On occasion, I’ve trapped some and returned them to the pond. I find that the cats roam about 100 yards in the creek. I find that I like the creek more than I do my ponds.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
