Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Natural Pond, thing of the past?

I've reached the point, whether it be good or bad, where I look at the information provided and then do what I think is best, even if it's contrary to what the professional advice states. I'm here everyday, watching, observing, seeing how my efforts impact our ponds. And while I know there are established and proven procedures, I do not believe in absolutes. Taking something, anything, as gospel or the final word, just doesn't work for me these days. Read, research, ask questions, and experiment, then decide what works for my unique application. I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" solution or suggestion.
