Thanks Swawn, and I don't care for a lot of gov't in my life either.
The DNR here will stock my pond the first time, then they are gone and then the same state wide regs apply for everyone in IL. I was told that many years ago they had a provision that I would have to let people fish if they stocked my pond, that is no longer the case.
You are correct on both counts. I could stock fatheads only and be ok, and it really boils down to how fast I want to fish!
