Thanks ewest. I was struck by the comment "if you don't plan to harvest, don't stock". 2 thoughts - even if I don't plan to harvest, I want fish in my pond as part of the ecosystem. And maybe I am missing something - I love to eat and I love to eat fish. Maybe I just need to rethink this thing. I could see my small family eating 50 to 100 lbs of fish if making that sacrifice will help the pond.
