LW, we're not too far away from each other, I'm over toward Princeton from where you are. I'm probably 30 miles from Maple Grove. I think this pond stuff is catching on here in Minnesota. When I first started it was hard to find fish pellets in stock now you can buy them in every grain co-op. I feed aquamax 500 which is made by Purina. Perhaps what you meant is do I feed aquamax or Purina Game Fish Chow. Glad you liked the ice story. I swear it's true but I have no witnesses. By the way I'm also an engineer and I also like it when people say it can't be done. I was told you can't raise fish in a 1/2 acre pond in Minnesota, too cold. I just caught several 10 inch bluegill today. When my bluegill get over 9 inches long they are 1.5 inches thick across the pectoral fins. I'd post a picture if I new how. It would be fun to take a look at each others ponds and compare notes. Perhaps we can talk via PMs to get each others e-mail address.


Gotta get back to fishin!
