Jd,

I got it and I will be drawing you a diagram, scanning it, and emailing it.

I've got a new problem in my trout pond this year. More and more chara and potomogeton pusillis growing in the pond some places all the way to the surface. I'm sure it's due to all the nutrients from the feed. I'm presently raking a lot out a little at a time.

I guess I will have to either drain the pond this winter or drop the water level a few feet and hope it freezes out the weeds at least around the perimeter of the pond a few feet deep. Herbicides are a no no as trout are really sensitive to them, and the subsequent dead plant material could cause oxygen problems. But I don't want to drain completely as I was going to get mostly brook trout this fall. Maybe if I get my butt in gear and make some more money I can dig another pond.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
