Another source of “natural” fish food. Shoot a possum, coon, etc. Hang it from a branch over the pond. Flies will be drawn to it, deposit eggs that become maggots, etc. A certain number of the maggots will fall into the water. Free fish food.

Oh yeah, pay attention to the prevailing wind so the odor will blow away from your fishing spot.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
