50 inches of rain per year. I haven’t had that in the last 3 or more years. We are in different worlds.

And yet, some things are the same.

Set realistic goals. Pay attention to water quality.

Re fish; it’s all about the forage base and that generally means bluegills. But forage of the proper size is the key. A predator of any size needs prey that is 1/4 to 1/3 it’s size. It’s energy expended vs calories obtained. A bass or catfish needs Bluegills of the right size. It would starve on minnows.


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.
