Good question. There are several measures of whole pond status. RW is one as is PSD. RW is a tool not an answer. It is not a complete answer to the one fish question. It is possible for a 90% fish to be one of the best in the pond. It is an average with limits on its application. The average alone can be suspect for a particular area. There are opinions about that different regions should have different RW scales.

For LMB ponds it is often said cull the suggested amount then cull 25% more.
