GlenB, hopefully the rains hit your area this week, along with Dave D., that's 3 of us West of DFW. Here's a little advice...be patient with the rainfall, it's going to take a while unless you have large watershed area. Be more patient with the fish...If you want aggressive growth, don't even consider stocking predators until next Fall at the earliest. You will be amazed at your growth rate if you get your base established. I know you read the board, and I'm not telling you anything you haven't read. My pond is just over a year old, perch and minnows are everywhere, I recently introduced adult bass that will provide my initial spawn next spring. If I feel the need to catch or eat fish, bgill are plentiful. Go by the book !
