Thanks for the warm welcome Ken. I am a rookie but thanks again to the knowledge I have gained from watching this forum I hand learned that and established several areas of floating or partially submerged areas of cover for the FH's to find their happy place upside down. The pond is mostly for a summer dip but plan to handle like many very small ponds, 10th. acre +/-, 11' deep by stocking only FH's and maybe yellow perch just to keep the pond balanced best I can in life's great circle.
Much to learn. A giant sponge I am.
