Eric....Does Louisianna Fish & Game help landowners manage ponds? I know some states have programs where they can come in and do electro shocking and see what you have. That may be an option for you. If they do not, then you need to find a biologist on a local lake and befriend them. Maybe help them to do some projects in return for looking at your pond. I have helped with conservation projects in Kansas and most of the biologists have given me great advice for my pond.
