Updated pics of my wetlands

[cj]

Just need about 6 days of rain now. The deeper potholes are starting to fill though. ;D

That's pretty cool CJ. I didn't realize it was so big - that'll be awesome when it's all filled up. Where do we put the blind?

Lookin good cj! Careful you dont slip in da mud! ;D

[cj]

I'll try not to Bowhunter

JC, the island. Instead of trying to figure out the best spots for blinds, just figured an island in the center would be the best bet, and depending on the wind, set up accordingly.

thats cool...what are you going to put in to help eat mosquitoes??fathead minnows? you going to stock crawfish and frogs or just let them populate naturaly??

[cj]

Hounddog, I'll be putting up wren and blubird boxes to help out with the skeeters. When the wetlands is full, the deep spots will be around 6 feet. The frogs and crawfish will just show up, but I may be adding a few fish next spring.

i am doing a few more wood duck boxes and get them up before spring so when the woodys come by they have a place ready.i want to have up atleast 6 boxes on my small pond and creek area.you need dozens of boxes on your swamp.

LOL Hounddog...my neighbor up the street said you can never have enough up. I've got a dozen made so far, just need to get them put up.

JC, those pics dont do it justice. You really need to see it to get a feel for it. The place will be awsome once it fills.

If you decide to stock crayfish, let me know.
One of the places I trap is a former hatchery.
The man that owns it has more knowledge on this than you could shake a stick at.
There are around 40 or 50 holding ponds on the property.
I might catch a coon there this year!
