At the end of the second year of tagging fish. I am not done with the numbers yet, but I did catch "red #20" again -3rd time- last night. She has gone from a 10.5 inch fish in March of 15 to a 15" fish today. Her wr has increased to 100%! I am excited to see that.

A preliminary look at the numbers shows my wr has increased across the board only slightly. Re are still recruiting. Lots of bg in all size classes, a few gsf.

Goals for next year include continuing to cull lm under 95%, place more brush piles, both artificial and natural. Determine if there is a preference for one over the other. Watch for yp ribbons and yoy. Continue Optimal as feed. Enjoy my pond and fishing!

I am sure I would have a pond full of skinny fish if not for the support of this site and Pond Boss magazine. Thanks again.
