My wife was a horticulture major, and I am in the agricultural field. We are also fortunate to have had many knowledgeable folks to teach us, like the folks here on this forum. My first pond stocking was a lot less than ideal (too many fish). A winter fish kill has things back on track. If my neighbor was not exaggerating too much, he saw a lunker LMB cruse past when he was fishing in that pond last week. He said it ignored his attempts to catch it. He did catch some smaller ones and some keeper BG. I need to get some update pictures of the new pond. It is coming along pretty good. I need some picture of the bald cypress knees in this older pond too. They are pretty cool. Spring is in the air here in central Indiana. I just hope the law of averages does not catch up with us and blast the plants, frogs, etc. The Sandhill cranes think ice is out.
