I woudl like to see facts that support the claim that "most state agency recommendations were written during the Depression." That's not very flattering to the average state game and fish agency, which usually requires a bachelor's degree in fisheries science for all of their fisheries biologists. I would wager that contacting any of the agencies I listed would clear this up. It's pretty indefensible to characterize a recommendation coming from a degreed fisheries biologist as "dangerous," when the recommendation is much more likely to result in a balanced pond than the one being provided in this thread, especially if there is a good deal of cold weather in the area in question - more cold weather means less predation on bluegill by bass, not more. Pretty basic.
