Dave,

That Norm Kopecky sounds like a very nice man. Perhaps I will meet him one day. It shouldn�t be too hard to do since we are only about 35 minutes from Sioux Falls.

On the carp issue, I suppose they have a problem rooting around in that hard old gravel bottom. I like the thought of them not reproducing!

I will have to study that further in the spring and also determine what the current submergent plant species may be.

Wow 500 posts! If they have all been as informative as the threads I have followed with Dave Willus involvement, then you should get a gold star added to your five blues!

Balance in all things Pond! Dwight
