It is amazing what you can do with a few poles and a bucket of worms! I would release the best, largest LMB. Bob told me to use a slot limit. Any LMB under 14 inches is going to become diner!

Keeping a few CC in the pond is good as well, but limit your numbers. Bob says only put in what you want to take out as dinner each year.

The backbone of your pond is always going to be the BG, so track their recruitment as well and you are going to know how your pond is doing. I use fish trap 2.0 and 2.0 lite to track my pond.

Ance you have only the right number of the best LMB in your pond and ensure your BG are reproducing correctly, you will be on your way to a great pond.
