Thanks for the welcome and info.

I'm not set up to net the pond, but I'll fish it a bit and post pictures of what I catch. I have a couple of spots that are permanent cedar thickets I added for escape areas.

I'm glad to hear the frogs are not a problem. I've seen pictures of them on Youtube eating birds. The legs are as big as a small fryer. I get about ten big frogs per year out of it. I was thinking they are eating the small bass. I have not caught or seen a big bass in about five years.

In the beginning, the bass would snap at anything that touched the surface. I used to mow around in condensing circles and drive all the grasshoppers into the frenzy. Now the bugs just swim back to the shore.

I'll look for another source of hatchery bass this week.

Thanks again.
