The serious drought last year must have killed all of the ticks and chiggers. I skinned quite a few deer and one small hog. I saw no ticks and I haven't had a chigger bite in years.

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
