This is a new pond where the owner rrroae has said what he is stocking (" I think for now I'll just start off with largemouths, bluegill and some walleye to go along with golden shinners and minnies and we'll go from there."). Not the right situation for NP.

I read both links several times and there is nothing inconsistent in them. The author is careful about what he states and does not change his opinion. NP are a tool limited in their proper use and only with knowledge of the possible good and bad outcomes and how to deal with them. I suggest that if anyone is thinking of using NP in a pond that they carefully read those links as well as what the author and other disinterested people here have said.
