Blakloks 5 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Me and my mate have 2 duck ponds we have leased one is absolutely perfect the other we aint so sure what to do we have been told that duck use it but its surrounded by trees and has an island that is covered in trees. It is abit deep so was thinking of lowering the levels and chopping down the trees on the island but i think shooting it would be hard work on the darkning due to the close proximity of the trees and advice would be most helpfull!

Gkeeper111 22 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 If the trees aren't that special- ie: willow- chop them to the floor. They will regrow anyway and maintain it as a coppice. Looks like it would hold a handful of ducks but they will find it tight to land. Had a pond similar to that on my last shoot but without the island- it was surrounded by trees so I chopped one side down and used to get 30 ducks feeding on it. Cheers gk Quote Link to post
