It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Thanks members for all the Bday greetings. More years behind me than in front. Not sure how long this PB ride will last.

Lusk says to be very careful and calculated when creating a new pond, for it will potentially affect the next 4 generations. Wouldn't it naturally follow that stocking the correct bio mass is just as important? Enter Bill Cody. Bill...your signature is on soooo many ponds! When we are all dead and gone, and those 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations are enjoying our craft and handiwork, Bill Cody's wisdom and gift of guidance will carry on like an Indian spirit that rises in the smoke.
