That's some good suggestions. I think I'm going to let the 2.5 acre pond become bass heavy and manage for the big bluegill. It's stocked with coppernose now. I used to feed them regulary but it seemed to hurt the fishing some. I love to fly fish, and used to stock the small pond with trout. Now that was fun. Got back into my beagles and the fly fishing went to the wayside.
