Norm I once again think for your goals your doing a great job. I look forward to seeing David results. I just don't want folks to think that if they want a pond for kids or the handicapped they need one like yours. VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE. A pond stocked with bluegill, redear, channel catfish that is maintianed bass heavy with lots of skinny bass, fertilized, and with a fish feeder is hard to beat. It is great for kids that can catch numbers of large bluegill, small bass and some catfish. I can see the only advantge of all the species being a diversity for the folks who fish it frequently. Otherwise low diversity is what I would recommend for a kids pond.
