I think I will have the same situation! No matter how much work I do on any ponds that I build, they will never be beautiful in my lifetime. They are just going to be holes filled with water set in a large expanse of prairie grass.

OTOH, the creek has a rugged and wild beauty. It is lined with trees and has a rough topography of sand bars and small terraces.

I think I can create a "mini" version of the creek in the abandoned oxbow channel.


Fish we have caught or seen in the creek:

GSF
LMB
CC
BG (rare?)
White Crappie
Spotted Gar
Flatheads
Large Sucker Fish (Redhorse?)

Lots of species of forage fish
