Thanks Greg and Tim for your input. I appreciate it.

Question for 'ya. In a worse case scenario where the Grass Carp wipe out your vegatation, does that hurt your fishing or the spawn of forage fish? If so, or if there is a wipe-out, what do you do? I hear these fish are a nothing at all or complete eradication proposition.

I am thinking of initally stocking 10-12 fish in my pond to shoot for a 70-80% control of my weeds. Is that possible?

Again, if there are others out there who would like to share their experiences, I would appreciate them before I make the commitment. As always, it is the pondowner's final decision and responsibility to take the action they want. I'm just looking for the Pros and Cons. Please let me hear from you. Thanks.
