Agreed, and the heck of it is that it very well could revert to dirt in a small amount of time. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to have fun with it while it lasts. The only thing is that I don't want to have to stock adult fish ($$$), so I'm trying to be careful in what I select in order to ensure that enough fish will survive long enough to reach keeper size (or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof). I had toyed with the idea of tossing in a pickerel or two, but I'm afraid they would eat everything else in a short amount of time. If I had 15 acres I could probably support a few. But it's little more than a mud puddle with delusions of grandeur. Between now and this fall, I gotta find the right dividing line between "fun experiment" and "just plain stupid". It doesn't have to be a great fishery for very long, but I don't want to come out one day and find two larger predators starving to death 'cause they ate all their "company" either!

So, everybody give me some more opinions. If there was one thing you ever wanted to try in a small pond that you would never actually dare to try yourself, what would it be? I'm actually willing to take the fall for everybody here, and I'm not gonna be upset if/when it doesn't work!
