Thanks all! I only have small perch, fatheads, salamanders, frogs and insect life in now. I will stock with crayfish, and will control vegetation with Tripoloid grass carp. Clarity is exceptional in the water almost always, and I also use wildlife-safe dye to darken the water and “color” it a but. I am not opposed to having different fish, but I am exceptionally fond of trout, and I feel I will eventually turn to having a bass and BG pond if I can’t get ANY holdover browns or bows... You guys all rock! Thanks!
