This is not something that I came up with.
Suffering from old age diease, it was Ned Kehle(sp) writing inthe "In-Fisherman" magazine over the past several years, that reported on this.
I tried it on several ponds and it seems to work well.
There have been a few suggestions to go to a 10 to one ratio.
MIght not be a bad idea as I talk to so many folks that are always catching one pound gills.
I catch 8 to 10 oz gills inthe same ponds.
