Thanks for the help Bill! I will post updates as I go and hopefully I'll get the pics figured out on here so I can post images of the fish as they grow. I am sure there will be some SBSxRES going on as there are breeding size RES in the pond. I need to get a screen across my outflow so I don't lose all the fish I am going to put into the pond. I have pulled many crappie out of the outflow over the years so I know fish can and do go through it. I'd love to fix the outflow so it is flowing down a lesser slope to cut down on erosion and possibly fill a series of wet meadows on its way back to the creek. Would love to create some spawning habitat for the smaller frogs, newts, salamanders and toads.
