Google Books gives a teaser to the dredging section but then stops. $100+ for a book is bit steep so I am looking to learn if it is work it. Thanks!

Our ponds, due to locations, are very different. It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
