You can probably easily isolate fish in both ponds with a net/screen across the canal. Then let your forage multiply and grow without predators in the small pond and periodically move forage to the LMB pond. It would entail a little effort, but would pay off with some of the largest LMB that could be grown in your area.
If I had a LMB pond in your area and with your setup, no question that is what I would do. |
I was actually thinking about that. Putting a grate over the culvert to let small fish swim past, but not big ones...
Would that be sufficient, or would I have to force the small fish to move over?
