I agree wholeheartedly with you Bruce. IMHO a ongoing harvest program is the single most beneficial pond management tool you can implement. I have allready seen dramatic results using nothing but a rod and reel. Previously, skinny fishes are now plump and healthy. Of course, I am also plump and healthy.

And this happened in the span of 4 months!

The problem is ... I want to be a PONDMEISTER!!

So I must STOCK SUPPLEMENTAL FORAGE, WATCH DO AND PH LEVELS, AERATE OR DIFFUSE TO ELIMINATE STRATIFICATION, CONTROL FA AND UNWANTED EMERGENT OR SUBMERGENT VEGATATION, MONITOR GROWTH RATES, CORRECT IMBALANCES IN THE ECOSYSTEM, INSTITUTE FERTILIZATION PROGRAMS, MAINTAIN SUPPLEMENTAL FEEDING SCHEDULES, INTRODUCE ARTIFICIAL HABITAT, MONITOR WATER CLARITY, CHECK FOR DAM SEEPAGE AND HAVE FUN DOING IT!!!!

Sorry, I'm back

Think I need to go fishing
