Hi Gary,

I grew up in Syracuse. I remember winters there!

Your pond sounds interesting. How big? Any brim with the bass? Any
grass carp to deal with weeds?

We have an acre pond near Jackson that has bass, brim and red-ears
with two grass carp who are doing a great job with the weeds. It is
young,(4 years) and the fish have been in 3 years. The brim have
grown like weeds (max. 10"). The bass seem to be doing well as well
(max. 24"). We are the only ones who fish it, so they really don't
understand about hooks and bait. Our gradndaughter loves that!

Jim, do you eat what you catch or just catch and release for fun?

"Stress and release" is what I call it. It sure isn't much fun for
the fish. But then again, your karma must really suck to be reborn as
a fish. Maybe they deserve it.

Gary, about time you got another koi for that pond. ;-) ~ jan
