Thanks Snipe...really good and thoughtful information. Interesting perspective on limiting the aquatic cover...exactly opposite of where my mind is/was in my "sterile" new pond, but I completely understand your thought.
Another question....I believe I have seen enough on the forum to have picked up that stocking a pond with fish from another BOW is a bad thing, or at least it seems to be cautioned or frowned upon. Why is that again? Is it illegal to take fish from public water and put into a private pond? Again, thinking in terms of some SMB.
Thanks for any and all comments!
