Norm I guess I wish I had more folks like you around here. I sell fish, but a properly balanced, managed pond does not require regular stocking. If your goals are geared a certain way occasional stocking may be necessary. When talking about trophy bass where you have poor bluegill and no shad, it is necessary for example. However it is alot cheaper to produce your own fish via fertilizing and fish feeding than stocking. WHat you said is the attitude I would expect a fish dealer to take.
