Hey Augie, welcome to the forum. I went to school in Columbia back in the 70s. My little pond is up by Mark Twain Lake. Looking forward to reading about your pond. Good to see another Missourian on the forum.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
