This is Tufly Pond. Where the fish life is evolving, the pond is about 50 years old, with a pretty steady water source, so not a lot of curve balls from this one.

Regarding catfish growth. It takes 3 to 5 years for them to reach what I consider to be optimal eating size, about 5 pounds. That is starting with 6 to 8 inchers, no feed. Our catfish don’t spawn, but with a primary diet of crayfish, they taste excellent.
