I wanted a bluegill pond so the added structure just made it easier for the baby bluegills to survive. I have them now all in one place under my dock (12 total) I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

But the color would have been totally covered in a year by green algea so it didn't really matter.. IMHO I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.
