Thanks Bill, I may do that. But for now since my pond is small and I have 100 5-8" perch, I'm not sure I want all the egg strands to stay in the pond and hatch. Although I certainly think it would be neat to have some young perch make it and do their own growing and spawning. Now all of a sudden I have to make pond management decisions smile

No predators but I'm sure next year I'll put some in or late fall. Thinking about a few SMB.

I'll see how many other egg strands I see over the next few days/weeks.
