That is why this forum is great. One can get lots of good usable information to sort through and decide what to do for themselves.
I will be very interested to see the condition of your pond at the 5 yr and 10 yrs. A lot of ponds "appear" to be "great" in the first few years. The longer term conditon of the fishery after 7 - 12 yrs really tells a more complete story of the pond and its managment.
