Right Bill,
I have 2 actual ponds, a creek and 3 small water holes that I don’t stock. The large one is about 2+ acres and the small one, one mile from the house, has green sunfish, 10 cats and assorted turtles and snakes. The larger one has an expensive feeder, bass and bluegills that I try to keep unbalance. It uses a lot of Optimal and chemicals when needed. $$$ The small one pretty well looks out for itself and I take a 4 wheeler ride to hand feed Optimal. On the larger one, I’m actually trying to grow and maintain fish. That takes $ and sweat. The small one is just for enjoyment.
