I just wanted to say Hi to everyone at this web sight. This is an amazing place to gain knowledge. I'm a city kid that just bought a home on 5 acres of land with a 2 acre pond. I am trying to educate myself on pond management so I don't mess things up. The previous owner has done well, and I will probably continue doing what he has done, but I need to know and understand the workings of pond life. My pond has been stocked with Bass, Bluegill and Catfish. I have learned to better support the quality of life of the fish, this needs to be fished to thin out the population. Does anyone have a recommendation of fishing pole?
