It is not completely dry, but it did freeze solid in January, you could even see some fish frozen in the ice.

I have read it seems like a huge management concern. But it also seems like BCP vs WCP is less of a concern. That's what I meant with the 50/50 statement. Like I said, if I were to try it, it would be a couple years down the road after the LMB are established. The reason I like the idea of BCP is because they are one of the best fish to eat and I like the diversity of species in the pond.

I am more concerned at this point with getting the right amount of CC and BG in to start off with. When considering the amount of BG to stock would RES be included in that number or be stocked additionally to that number?

Also, I had crawads in the pond last year, how many pounds would I need to restock?
