From the Dock
If your pond experience this season resembles most stories we've heard, you've shared anxious moments about the health or even survival of your pond.
Record heat and drought stressed aquatic environments to levels we haven't seen in 50 years. We encourage giving your pond a comprehensive physical this fall. Visit our website for details of your pond physical.
We anticipate a substantial increase for fish orders next spring. Many ponds dried-up or suffered fish kills when diminished water could no longer support oxygen. Please call to discuss your concerns. We'll propose a prescription for speedy recovery. Plus, book early to ensure supply. When rains come...and they will...stocker fish supplies will run low.
Thanks for your business,
Bob Lusk - Chad Fikes - Joshua Flowers - Walter Bassano |

Sometimes it's not About Fish
 Do you have a Nature observatory on the property? Is your hobby photography? Ask about a portable popup blind to watch birds or wildlife. If you're a hunter, check our selection of other versatile blinds. Install a feeder. Be prepared to see anything!
We're dealers for leading outdoor products. Check out our online store or call to discuss your interest.
Fall temperatures stimulate fish and wildlife feeding activity as they prepare for winter months. What could be more entertaining than sitting on your lake or cabin porch watching deer, squirrels, or birds visit your shoreline feeder?

Grubs and Leeches!
Are They as Bad as They Sound?
You just landed a fish and noticed reddish spots near the tail. While removing the hook, you saw small specks around the fish's mouth. Bells and whistles sound. Is my bass lake sick? How did those slimy critters enter my pond? What can I do?

Blue Green Algae Can be a Serious Condition
Blue green algae ruined the rest of my summer. Our 89,000-acre playground, Lake Texoma, recently was closed due to an outbreak of the dreaded algae. Contact with water is prohibited. This was devastating since my family spends much time on and in the lake.
Learn more about the treatment of Blue Green Algae on our website. |

What's Happening in Pond Management
If you're a few years either side of senior citizen status, you have assimilated almost 100-years of history on subjects important to you. You learned from 55 plus years "personal experience".
For some of us, the balance of knowledge was acquired in fishing boats or sitting around campfires with those who were passing the torch of a tradition to the next generation. When I experienced that rite of passage, the focus was critters and Nature. Click here to view this entire article.

Fish Tales....
We would appreciate hearing about experiences around your pond. Have you taught a native bass to eat fish food with bluegill? Have you recently caught a new lake record? How did you turn harvest into a fun or rewarding project? Have you created a neat live box to hold fish?
Readers would enjoy your stories and photos. Click here to send us your story. |
