Warning: you are talking about changing the dynamics of the pond. Better check with the owners to make sure that really is what's wanted.


Thank you for your reply!

Will check with the owners this weekend. They are all for getting it back in shape. From our talks I don't think that they are interested in trophy bass or bluegill. Just a pond where you can fish from the dock with a cork and catch fish.
