Esshup, thanks for your imput, I am learning, once I was a bucket stocker, I put 300 small ( 3 to 5 inch BG ) in the pond from a clean deep quarry, from what I can see my pond is not overstocked, I would like to stock some minnows, I wonder if enuff would survive to spawn in the pond.

I found a crayfish the other day in the creek.
