"This is Mike Hedden. We bought our farm last Spring and brought in AES to survey our 3 acre pond and develop a strategy to make it great for fishing. Based on the expressions of my grandchildren and many visitors, we’ve accomplished our goal! I highly recommend AES to anyone wanting a partner to ensure a great long term lake experience."

They have advised on artificial habitat, surveys, building spawning beds, and adding threadfin shad and crawfish to support our bass population.
