This is a picture of my brother Dan with a bag of about 250-300 smallmouth
bass fry. They're about two and a half inches long at this time.
This is October
of 1996. The pond water has been clear the entire summer and
has enough
natural growth to support the fish fry. Although the pond is
only half full,
we're confident that the water quality will maintain or improve as
the pond
fills. We had long planned on stocking this pond with smallmouth
bass
and I must admit we really wanted to get them in and growing.
