[quote=Sunil I've heard in general that a fish that has lived in running water won't do so well if relocated to a pond environment, and maybe vice versa. so a KS source for smallies, may be all pond raised. That may be no issue, but I only mention it if you're going to have some kind of real flow, creek like, going through.[/quote]

If I put in "pond" smallies, maybe the second generation will have a few fish that thrive in the semi-stream environment.

Hopefully, it will be an interesting and entertaining experiment!
