You mentioned primary goal was for your son to fish and personal recreation. Proper fish handling and kids don't mix, based on teaching two generations of them how to fish... grin

George, isn't that why you recommended restocking annually? To replace fish that didn't make it? I agree with you and hear what you're saying. 90% of fish that kids catch are better off going to the table than back into the pond.

Personal thoughts here, but I think getting a kid hooked on fishing is worth restocking that small pond even a few years in a row.

Yep, restocking a non-reproducing species is a necessity and what I call a "stocking ladder".
