Good ideas and info in this thread...I have a just built 3/4 acre pond with many family and friends/kids etc that plan on fishing . I realize a 3/4 pond isn't going to take a lot of fishing pressure, going to try and limit it best I can . I am also going to try and stock fish that can be ladder stocked/removed and hopefully eliminate some of the hook shyness...HSB, HBG, YP, etc...
Also will help having a pool, and will encourage guest to 'feed' the fish at times when fishing pressure has been heavy. I think some kids would enjoy throwing pellets and walking the pond as much as fishing.
Honestly, most kids will fish for awhile , catch a few and then be done...so not real bad....but like mentioned in the post, it is usually adults and friends of friends that cause issues... or kids visiting that aren't fishing or 'bored'...
