You'll be happy to know that back in January of 06, I was yelling "gig'em
horns" :-)



I only have a few very general ideas. The depth might turn out
to be a function of your bedrock. In Austin you're lucky to get a few
feet before you hit something. In beautiful Leander we don't have it
quite that bad but it's still a concern.


Bedrock? What's bedrock?

Seriously, I think you could dig down 50' or maybe even 100' before you hit
anything hard. Well, except for the white clay - you hit that at about 5'.


My guess is that Perch would be a pretty good choice. They seem to
multiply readily and won't have to fed as much as the big fish. Of
course, because they are smaller your migratory ducks might enjoy the
occasional meal as well.


Especially since I want to rent the dozer and do it myself.
