You may also want to steer clear of pumkinseeds which are quite common around us.

BTW I live in the Olean Area. Feel free to contact me if you need local sources. Good Luck
Yes, I live in Western New York and will send you a email for some local sources.BTW nice looking pond and the Bass picture is great.
