Jawbone- I thought you might like that book. All you ever wanted to know and then some...all for $3.50. Can't beat that deal. I bought my place 8 years ago when the pond was 2 years old. I mostly use that book, Raising trophy bass, Pond Boss Magazine and this web site to "manage and control" the existing problems that come up. At times I think the pond is managing me but I usually can get in an hour or two every day for some fishing fun. Keep us posted on your progress with the renovation. There is a lot of satisfaction in doing it yourself when it comes time to reap the rewards.
