Would you say it's more a testament to a pond manager's skills to create an world class fishery relying on all natural perameters like ideal fishery species selection, varied forage base, water quality, population management through angling, etc? Seems going natural would be more challenging, at least. Makes me apprecite the outstanding ponds I've fished that much more.
