Thanks Bob. I'll try to get as large SMB as possible, and get them going early fall. I'm thinking HSB too. Plan on running the feeder indefinitely. I was in HS in the 60s. Those were good times. Just now (at almost 61) am getting a pond I've been dreaming about for 40 years.


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
