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.

All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

Besides all of the great information I've learned, I can't begin to count all the hours entertainment. Thanks Pond Boss!

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!, Noel

Before I joined this site I never knew there was so much that can go into a hole in the ground. Theres a wealth of info on here. I cant say enough about the regulars posters on here. I'm not on any of social media because I dont like drama. I do love a good debate thou. Do appreciate everyone over the last couple years helping with my stupid questions and thoughts. Hope everyone has a wonderful new years. 👍👍

. Do appreciate everyone over the last couple years helping with my stupid questions and thoughts. Hope everyone has a wonderful new years. 👍👍 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.

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.
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.
