+1 It seems the more I read about BCP in smaller BOWs.... the success stories are those puddles actively harvested/managed and the disaster scenarios are those not managed aggressively. Makes me wonder if there are TWO slot size ponds where BCP are successful. Slot one is where the pond is small enough to manage by angling. Slot two is BOWs large enough for nature to manage the BCP. Is it the "in between" BOWs that are unmanageable?
