I have a 2 1/2 acre pond that has been around for 20 years. The depth averages 6 feet and it is fed by rain runoff and a small underground spring. We have bass, catfish and crappie. They are plentiful, of good size, in good condition and replenish themselves. We added a few catfish 3 years ago because we wanted to increase the population. We also raise about 250 catfish each year in cages. We have never done anything to the pond.

I see all of these forum topics, etc. and I wonder why my pond does so well without any intervention?

I hope by saying this I do not bring on a hex.
