djstauder, I know what you mean, but when you think about 50 fish, maybe now 6-7" long, in an acre of water, you may not see them so easily.

One thing I keep relearning with ponds is that the more time you spend watching, the more you see. And there's a threshold...meaning if you spend too little time, you will never see anything.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
