Meadowlark- At the rate my pond is filling with water, I will be lucky to see it full in my lifetime. I may have started a 100 year drought by building a pond. I am more of a virtual pond keeper and experimenter at the moment. I am real good at thinking up experiments for others to try! ;\) especially someone on a journey to 9 ponds and 17 acres (I can't remember the real numbers)! \:D Maybe we could put our heads together and make a pond computer game. I could really experiment then!! :p I have never been a crappie man myself. I like catching a huge catfish or HSB right on the edge of losing them for several minutes. I have just seen several people wanting a crappie pond and thought maybe that paper gave some insight to control.

Please no more rain for a month! :|
