I spend lots of time and a fair amount of money managing, weeding, recording data, feeding fish, and maintaining & buying new genetic stock. Fish food and fish are not cheap. Fish and good fishing are NOT free. I tell people this. There are plenty of public waters to fish in. I invite people to fish as repayment of favors they have done for me. I supervise all fishing, thus I have to be with them when fishing. When I explain my philosophy everyone seems to understand. Living at the pond also helps keep out interlopers.
