I envy people that have a pond or lake that they can manage however they want. I have to deal with a lady that thinks the aerator will shock her children, people that treat bass like pets (I have to smuggle the 11 inch overcrowded population out of the lake). A neighbor that stocks the lake with fish from a greedy fish farm (They actualy suggested stocking SMB in a LMB pond) So, If you do not have to deal with crazy neighbors consider yourself lucky.

Other than that I feel luck to have a place to watch fish, Fish, and implement some of the management strategies I have learned.

Sorry for the rant.
