BadBuck,

As has been previously mentioned, the big guns are enjoying themselves at the PondBoss convention and will hopefully give their input when they return. I am certainly no expert but will offer my thoughts. You stated in one of your prior posts that you recently bought the house and 1.3 acre pond. Based on this, I offer a couple of suggestions of "where to start".

(1) Take some time to get to know your pond. It will help establish a base line in an effort to reach your future goal(s). Items such as the ponds past history, site characteristics, water quality, plant species and current fish species, just to name a few, will give you a starting point. Record your findings.

(2) Read through the information on the pond boss site and ask questions! Use our mistakes and successes to save you time and $$$$ in achieving your goals.

Page 4 shows a homemade diffuser setup from Bill Cody. Page 5 will show you the pump I had in my small (0.15 ac) BG/Bass pond.

Here is just one link related to trout
