Beaver nursery pond

[Quillback]

Text of an email I received from them:

District 1 biologists collected adult Black Crappie, Redear and Bluegill Sunfish from Beaver Lake to stocked into the nursery pond to produce fish that will eventually be stocked back into the lake. The nursery ponds allows adult fish to spawn and the young fish safety from predator's to help with successful growth. The pond will be fertilized to provide ample food for the young fish and the pond will be released in late summer or early fall. Staff finished the collections on March 5th and Redear and Bluegill are very close to spawning, by being present in shallow water and appearing full of eggs. Fishing should be good right now for these tasty fish!
