Canyoncreek - Good comment and approach for Turtlemtn - If you decide to add some HSB to your pond take pictures of them as they progress to show DNR how well HSB will perform in your area. DNR can always learn new management concepts. State agencies are extremely slow to change philosophy.
Chain pickerel will survive fine in ponds. In fact without adequate LMB predation and the right habitat (spawning structure) the CP could become overpopulated. Even in marginal pond conditions CP will likely recruit a few fish either periodically or annually.
