Ed -- I wonder if the largemouth overabundance in the lower pond may change once those hybrids get to a larger size. I used to be an overly strong proponent of very simple predator-prey combinations (like one predator and one prey). However, my Pond Boss exposure has led me to attempts to be more innovative, especially when pondowners are truly interested. I guess my point is simply that the lower pond may still come around in another year or two. I'm basing that on some of our ponds that have a combination of walleye, largemouths, and/or smallmouths, with more than one panfish species. Now, if you could just get some moisture into the ponds....
