Tuzz, my pond isn't far from Callicoon N.Y., but Ilive in NYC. The property has no electric yet, so an aerator isn't happening. About all I do is crack open the gate valve so the vale standpipe system doesn't freeze and burst. I don't shovel snow or clear anything, and all fish survived last year and you know how much snow we had. Oh, the pond is 4 1/2 acres with a max depth of 28', and fish species include LM bass, Bluegill, yellow perch, catfish, fatheads, and a couple of other sunfish.This year I had to remove the floating dock.
