Wow EWEST and Thanks for the information. It appears more in line with what I have found in my pond. I have never heard how quickly my pond can reach its carrying capacity but 18 months sounds more in-line with what I am seeing. The document you suggested is very informative and seems to be on target to what I am experiencing. It states that I should take about 35 pounds of bream a year per acre (my pond is 1.25 acres) to maintain a proper balance. There is so much information out there it is hard to filter through it. I guess I have to find what seems to match my pond and go with it. This document seems to be just that. I should be able to monitor and record all fish caught and I will also start to seine my pond next summer to further evaluate the ponds health.
Thanks again!
