I’m getting rid of every HBG I can. Even using traps. I consider introducing them to my BOW a bit of a mistake. They reproduce quite a bit. Worst part is they harass swimmers (floaters) without mercy. I’m sure they help the GS keep my YP recruitment down too.. Not happy about that either. Oh well.

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.
