I have been managing BCP for 12 years now in my ponds and friends ponds here in MN. Small BOW two acres or less.

My three must do's EVERY year are simple. Harvest, harvest, and yep you guessed it, harvest. I monitor relative weights EVERY year. To ensure I am harvesting enough fish. Don't be like me and be intimidated with fish tagging! IMHO- It's a fantastic tool for monitoring and a lot of fun.
