Bill as always great info and great advice. The perch have already spawned up here as well. I wasnt planning on putting any in my pond til fall time frame. I have been trying to bulk up on the fathead minnows and crayfish. It goes against what I am sure all of want to do, but I am trying to hold off and build up the eco system and introduce things at the rate they should be introduced. Thus that is why I am asking tons here. And for all the great advice, I do truly appreciate every word I am getting even though some of it sort of puts me in a diff direction than where I started to go into.
