I'm not a Pro or expert, just a pond junkie.

First, find out what the Owners goals are, write it down to develop a plan to maintain and exceed it. What kind of budget can you get?

Look at the condition of the fish and identify the status of the forage base. I once read and agree that the best Ranch managers are grass farmers. They understand that it all starts and end with forage amount and quality. Water quality can have a huge effect here. Start a catch log and identify the RW of all fish caught. See http://www.lakework.com for some pretty interesting charts. Any weed problems?

Contact Greg Grimes, Bob Lusk, Todd Overton, Nate Lee(N8LY) and other professionals.

Where will you be?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
