I have purchased a property with two 2 acre spring fed ponds. I have been reading here for a few days and am starting at basically zero. I am planning on subscribing to Pond Bass, what are your best sources for a beginner? I did a search and did not find what I was looking for.

By far, hands down, the best book I've ever seen for getting started in pond management... "Perfect Pond, Want One?". By the Pond Boss himself, Bob Lusk. http://www.pondboss.com/news.asp?id=43

Another Lusk one is Raising Trophy Bass. It's about a lot more than bass. I've had 3 of them that I've loaned an never gotten back.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

The books listed for a more mobile (read as non-electronic)library, the archives and all the posts on here for the electronic version. Definately start with the archives.
