Thanks for the update, Todd. I like the idea of marketing desirable aquatic plants, especially as a way of keeping out undesirable plants & reducing excess fertility.

If I recall correctly, you folks stocked rainbows in my pond back in early December. They've done better than I imagined, perhaps because I'm still feeding. Caught one that grew from 1 lb to 2.5 lb in just two months! At this rate I'm hoping to catch some in the 3 to 4 lb class before it all comes to a sad end in June.

Re desirable plants, American pondweed comes to mind. It's slowly spreading at my place & fishing has improved, probably due to increased survival of young of year.
