I dont particully care if I have very many cc. I do want to keep those that I have and fatten them up.

I do need something that will eat the goldfish off spring they are getting upwards of 3 inch and smaller while the orginal stockers whats left of them are around 9"

Last I checked on the summer temp I think It was 88 at the surface but it got hotter yet and I didnt check.

I am building on a room addition to the house and it is keeping me so busy that I havent had a chance to work around the pond, weeds are grown up around it.

Since it is the season that I have waited for to stock I want to get some more, And I would like to try and get some HSB in there and would love to try the smallmouth but not sure if they would do well. My water quality I believe is excellent compared to a year or so ago and I think that I have healthy fish. My HBG I think are reaching 7" after tocking last year, I have been afraid to catch any to size them becasue it has been hot and the last time I tried I killed 2 of the 3 that I caught.

A little snow, Please!
