Me too


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Hear, hear!

I've learned more about ponds and fish and water in the last two years than I'd put together in the 55 that came before.

Love this place.

I've frequented a handful of forums that relate to my hobbies and Pond Boss has, by FAR, the best members with the most couth, patience, maturity, intellect, understanding, and, most importantly, the least amount of drama.

It's truly a great place! Thanks to all.


Fish on!,

Thank you for being involved ! There are no stupid questions or thoughts - each of us is on a journey learning as we go . We all start at ground zero and move forward from there. Sometimes I look back at my old posts in amazement at how little I knew/understood. I still have a log way to go on this journey.

smile cool

Agreed. I have learned a ton. Went from winter kill every single year for 20 years or more to fish survived the last three winters. Pretty amazing.

Ya know, stocked my first pond about 40 years ago. Over stocked and lost them. Started figuring out what went wrong. Then I met a guy named Lusk who straightened me out on stocking and managing.

I’m still learning. One thing I learned is that an awful lot of this stuff is regional. Texas is split into various zones but the biggie, for me, is the one that separates East and West Texas. Different soils and rainfall amounts mean different strategies.

Also, I’m only marginally qualified to judge any thing that goes on in any different regions. Sure, there are some basic things but soils and weather really matter.

The thing I’m still working on is my rain dance.
