I propose that we add yet another category but I'm not sure where it should go.
This category would be a history of our individual ponds. There are two parts to this. The first part is the fun part of showing pictures of our lakes, friends and family fishing etc. The second part is a history of our lakes. This would be the info about how the lake was when we got it or built it. If it was a lake we bought, it would be the size, history, condition and what we have been doing with it. If we built it, again, it would be the story of building it, what we stocked and when and how things are progressing. Essentially, this would be a case history of our lakes.
I got the idea from the mini PB meeting at Lincoln. NEDOC is renovating a large lake by seining "trash fish". Did you know that CC are trash fish? Anyhow, what a wonderful case history of renovating a lake by seining. Shorty is working at controling the submergent vegetation in his lake. Again, this is a wonderful and valuable case history.
As we get a number of case histories, when someone has questions about starting a new lake, they can look at the experiences of other people with lakes in their region. I would think this would be extremely valuable.
