Joint vetch. Not the whole plot, but a decent lil patch in each plot.

Both. The coppernose in the pond are really starting to get some size to em, and they've been fun on the ultralight tackle. Figured fly rod would be even more fun.

Instead of starting a new thread, hope I can jump in and get some recs on a good starter fly rod/reel setup for pond bass and bluegill.

I had Dr Strahan ID this for me on some athletic fields years ago. He pretty much said "good luck". I used glyphosate at a really high rate and it torched it.....but it came back the following year
There's different varieties of it. I fed the Aquamax 400 (starter) when I first stocked. It's very small and sinks. The MVP has 9 different particle sizes, and some float while some sink. I found it to be good for a variety of size fish.
The moultrie directional is what I use in my small pond. Throws the aquamax mvp very well. Just make sure to keep a good battery in it.

ETA: Highly recommend Aquamax feed

I went to that Sofirn H35R this past hunting season, and absolutely love it. Bought several more to give as gifts. Takes the same charger as my phone, and since the battery is removable I can pull it out and use it in my thermal (or vice versa).

For the price, it can't be beat.

First, make sure you've degreased the bone. This is what causes the yellowing. Then use the 40% peroxide. After the peroxide, letting it dry in direct sunlight really lets it whiten well.
I lean the majority of the time, so I like the slanted front on my Cruzr mini Seeker
.308 - Nebraska buck (borrowed a gun so I didnt have to fly with one)

6.5 Grendel - 3 mississippi bucks
I use the MVP because of the multi-sized particles, and because it has sinking particles as well. My bass seem to stay up top and feed on the floaters, which I hope gives my coppernose plenty opportunity to feed on the sinking stuff too. That's my theory, anyway..
I recommended SWC because he just did the hydroturf in my bay boat a few months ago, so he could probably do your paint and decking in one go.
If you're set on paying someone to do it, try Shallow Water Customs
That's our camp way in the back (white trailer). That spot is a great spot, overlooking the pond, and within walking distance of the camp. The 3 of us that hunt this piece all have kids that are getting into hunting, so it was a no-brainer for us to break down and invest in an Antler Shed for them to be comfortable in. They absolutely are awesome.
Got a crew of us up here in the Darrington area, but a Saturday morning hunt has yet to be determined....

Our camp is several miles down a gravel highway. We had plans to go and bring the kids to try to kill something... but with the risk of roads getting icy, and being without power possibly in those temps, I don't think I'm making a trip this weekend.
