Bill,

My question had more to do with what the pond owners goals were as opposed to what I would like to see in this pond. Initially you posted that the owner disregarded your advice and stocked by "common sense" and listening to the "hatchery man". I'm just curious what your plan is now to get the pond in line with the goals of the owner.

Side note: My interest in this post started with the mention of Yellow Perch in the title. A future project of mine involves enlarging an existing pond to experiment with a SMB/YP combination. At this point, to gather information, I'm reading anything that mentions either or both species.
