Small ponds are challenging but, in some ways, less of a challenge than really large ones. A couple of years ago, one Forum member said that he HAD to take about 30 LMB from his lake per month. It became work and time consuming. Lusk writes that a pond is like a garden. It has to be cared for, pruned, and harvested.
A combination of Hybrid Bluegill and Channel Cats, with a feeder, has worked out well for many small pond owners. It has the advantage of being somewhat manageable and still fun.
