Bill, FPM got back to me, and for back issues it's buy 2 get one free, so at least I won't have to harrass you for the article. I don't really have any more question right now, more just a few comments.

As far as the frogs, I really didn't elaborate, and I apoligise for that.Along with the ton of frogs are millions of tadpoles, and at times all bunched up on the shoreline. I was thinking if I thinned out adult frogs and netted the tiny tadpoles,and trapped medium sized tadpoles I could take a lot of mouths off the buffet line. I did understand about the aquatic insects, the first thing that came to mind was Dragon fly larvae.

I'm not too concerned of a lack of DO, as I don't think my standpipe ever stopped running last year(and the outlet pipe is at least 12' to 15' below the surface). The weed beds have been contained to the "handle" and from now on I'll keep an eye on it to make sure.

I did "bother" you last year about growing out Bluegills in my fathead pond, but after seeing the Bluegills take root I switched it over to Perch. Having quite a few 12" to 16" bass in the big pond, how big would you recomend growing the Perch before tramnsplanting?

Seems I just can't post without asking a question.

Sorry for taking up all of your posting time!
