I understand overpopulation and stunting but I'd expect to see more fish if it was over populated I would think. Walking around the pond not many fish are seen, a few here or there. Maybe they are 2-3 feet deep and I can't see the. The Koi is bright orange and when it's crushing near the top it's visible but weeks can go by I don't see it. Visibility is up to 30 inches at time so it's not all that murky.

I've been in the pond, on the pond, around the pond and had a camera in it and have not seen a bass. I've tried some lures and night crawlers as well.

I wonder if too many tadpoles could limit the food sources?
