I'm banking on a combination of attention to detail and harvest being the combination that's keeping everything chugging right along.

No one fishes the pond without my permission and everyone is required to provide details on fish caught. And the only fish that other people take out are BCP.

Given that I built the pond to provide both fun and food, having to catch hundreds of crappie a year is anything but a burden.
