EwestI agree well said
Cat,Icouldnt agree more.I have a pond that is smaller than most also but,I,like many if not most here,have limited funds and more hours than I care to admit invested in it.Im proud of my accompishments so far.
On another note,when I see the pond or lake that you mention that was built when money was no object and the owner doesnt know fish from chicken Im just not impressed.

I subscribe
