I've been down this road before.
Personally, after studying your website, and seeing almost the exact same type of terrain as the OP has, if I were he, I would hire you for the day to come up to KY and consult for me. It would be worth every penny to the OP. You've been there done that, so to speak.
Thanks Dave. Maybe one of these days I'll get a full or fuller pond and get more interested. I know there's been more pondowners more persistent and long suffered than I have been, but I don't know any personally.

Maybe it's time for a change. Good things come to those who wait, so they say.
A couple of years back Bruce was nice enough to ask me to come back and post more often. My heart wasn't in it. It couldn't be.
