It takes a while but it works-
Roger,
Thanks for your concern and the information you provided. Following the dam
restoration and fish habitat work, we stocked Best Pond on 7/2/2009 with
nearly 2000 largemouth bass (1.2 in.), 1000 sunfish (5 in.) and 1000 fathead
minnows. We followed up by seining on 7/13/11 and the results yielded
plenty of fish. Some fish may have been lost in relation to the events of
Hurricane Irene. I am actually sending out a crew to seine both ponds this
Thursday to evaluate if restocking in necessary.
Once again, thank you for the information and I can let you know what they
find and what our subsequent plans are. (If you don't hear from me within a
week or two, please feel free to shoot me an email.)
