I think the steep side of a learning curve is the most exciting. My wife and I started out with building a 1/8 acre duck pond. Six years later we turned that duck pond into a 1.5 acre fish pond. And a couple of years later added a 1/3 acre fish pond. I don't ever seem to get enough information or discover fast enough. I know from experience,as a new pond owner without any back ground in raising fish any good information is welcome. A lot of these guys on this web site are professionals and I am not but if you want I would be glad to give you stories of all the mistakes I've made over the years like killing an entire pond last winter. I just like to share my passion and learn from other outdoorsman.
