I remember when my grandparents sold the farm and moved to a local lake to retire. The put out a couple of china berry trees, one on each side of the entrance. In the hole of one, they tossed a big carp that had been caught on a trotline. That tree, after 3 years, was about twice as large as the other one.


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.
