I find myself gravitating to my ponds several times a day when I am on shore and do strange things like plant pond lilies, and bog plants, put up blue bird boxes.....My hunting buddies think I have lost my mind and I have a goose/duck hunting paradise but it is now for the most part off-limits to hunting!.....Now I have nesting boxes and goose floats, I will not fish for my bass as they have become pets, and I am stealing frogs!
...a metamorphosis that commands a salute! Altho I may disagree somewhat with the protected fish thing, your pond-world achievement is a goal that is shared by this nature-loving dreamer. I am proud to have the opportunity to post on your thread and willingly insist on wearing the tee-shirt in your stead at the scene of the crime.
