Sounds good Bill....I'll just mention that as I've said before, I'd rather not get committed to feeding. Along the way if it's necessary, happy to adapt. I will definitely report back on the size, etc. of the stocked fish as to growth rate and everything else. I like the idea of the "dense brush-like structure"- any chance there's a link or images, etc. so I can see what they look like in practice? I've seen YouTube videos of various methods/approaches, such as "planting" parts of trees in quickcrete in blocks, and sinking them. Any thoughts on that? Note that I live on 12.5 wooded acres, so I have TONS of trees available in all forms: growing strong, dead, dying, the usual. So lots of options; just want to be sure I approach things the most effective smart way (for example: I know that people stress the organic balance in the pond, so I'm guessing that w/trees/foliage, it's not "the more the merrier.")
