I picked up the book as well. I tremendous resource. Cost me 4 bucks via the internet apparently some revision. I have totally ignored the warnings about the gill bass combo. Hopefully my grandiosity will not spoil the pond. It is challenging to find the right combo of fish to use every resource has a different combo suggested. Currently I have stocked this year 200 hybid gill, 100 LMB and 100 hybrid striper bass and 150 cats. I am feeding them purina fish chow with excellent growth noted. I aerate with a windmill that seems to be working. I think now I just need to sit back a watch mother nature work. Good luck fellas
