David, successful ponds use many tools; some native and some "Where the dickens did that come from?".
I personally believe that to have successful fish populations, you first fix the water and the things that effect it. However, we often have to manage around the effects of runoff areas. By that I mean the Spring inflow of turbidity in a lot of water bodies.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
