Hi all, my name is Ryan Johnston. I'm a student at South Dakota State University. I just went to my first pond boss meeting this past weekend. If you were there you may have met me, but you probably saw me around. It was an awesome experience and I feel like it really broadened my horizons, and gave me some good ideas for pond management. Seeing the more applied side of fish management was awesome. Hopefully I can help people on the forum learn a little more about fish management and generate some good thoughts on new fish management techniques. Presently, I am doing research on fish habitat usage, as well as helping manage a couple of ponds here in South Dakota to hopefully grow some trophy bass.
