Gary T., if you have followed BG and HSB posts on the PB forum, you already know my passion...

BG&HSB are the answer � especially in a new pond - you can avoid many of the costly mistakes myself and others have experienced.
Email me your personal email address and I will send you some BG and HSB pics that will really get your attention.....
By the way, I am a strong proponent of stocking adult BG and large 1st year HSB stockers.
Todd Overton, of Overton Fisheries, is currently �growing out� 1st year stockers that he expects to be 8-10 inches in the near future.
Your daughters will be able to have �instant gratification fishing� as soon as you have water in your pond.
I�m watching radar - heavy rain in Delta County � hope to fill the � acre pond that has been only half full for the past year and a half.
Main pond 3-4 ft low, so maybe will fill.
N.W. of the MetroMess doesn�t look too good for this storm � maybe later.
You are near the area of Dave Davidson�s place � I�m sure he will chime in�.
Good luck,
George Glazener
