I've lived in the south most of my life; so all I know is the good ol' BG+LMB+CC combo pond. It's a wonderfully idiot-proof combo, but sunfish and black bass were never my favorite sport fish.

I've just moved to Ithaca, NY and I know nothing about the pond management strategies here in the Northeast. I'm a complete novice all over again.

What predator-prey combinations are commonly successful for small ponds in the Northeast?
