It's was dug in 2012 and was approx 15'-16' deep.  Both can tolerate warmer water temps but some claim they can become "stressed to death" by fishing in the warmer water temps.  The redear sunfish are very important for a healthy tank.  They eat the snails that are one of the host for yellow grub(you might have seen these small worms in your fish flesh).  Some people just eat them but I don't. 

There are many Fish Ohio 13"+ Perch in this pond.  When these were caught I threw back two huge ones that I leave for breeding stock.  Sorry if this is long winded for a ice fishing site! 

(if they load)Here is a pic of the pond and the happy day I trapped my first spawn.  It takes some planning to provide spawning structure that works. 

Well I feed them AquaMax all summer and have approx 60 Walleye to keep them from stunting.  I'm hoping to catch some Walleye before spring comes.  I'm  glad I found this site and hope to learn and enjoy the ice fishing scene.  I have a pic of a WE I caught this summer....nice and healthy around 4 pounds.
