I need to score a few farm ponds to fish on! Maybe I will work on it over the summer. Just the phrase "Farm Pond" is flat out cool

things to settle down

to me and maybe only me,most farm ponds needs to have some of the fish taken out
i always work with the owners as to what they want

Looks and sounds like a good day, thanks for sharing.

How did the size of the bluegill compare to years past from the same bodies of water? I wonder if winter kill was worse last year with the harsh winter temps we had

[RIVERRAT2]

some of the smaller ponds were hit hard with winter kill because of the thick ice and no light
this does a number on the oxygen, only little ones left, but they will get big
