Thankyou for your replies the reason the kids never fished there was my place of employment was overseas which my father came over frequently and took the boys fishing for the last 10 years.
I took your advice and hired the man who developed and built the lakes and ponds I was given several other clients to call and each one was positive. He came back out today and went through all the basics and gave me a cost of $2500.00 to maintain everything and winterize the pump and blower buildings.

I do have an interest but I want do do this properly and save for the future for the rest of the family to enjoy for years to come. There was one other gentleman that wanted to take care of everything but he thought the fish were pickrel. We hired Scott at Catskillpond the builder I felt comfortable with the past relationship with my dad.

Thanks again I will post a pic. Mel
