Not bad news. The snake has moved in because there is prey available. These snakes will cull the unwanted and diseased vermin that are definitely occupying the pond ecosystem (if there were no vermin, the snake wouldn't be there). All one has to do is simply educate the children to watch their step and if they leave the snake alone and give it a wide berth, the snake will leave them alone.

The depth of your pond might be one problem. The sun light can penetrate a few feet which can cause blooms and dead zones. This might sound little out there but floating gardens could supply food and shade. I live in empire and raise talipia. Every year i have babies select about 20 and bring them in for next years harvest since the water gets too cold for them. Pond management is easy for nature but hard for us to dial in.

The bigger he gets the more dangerous he will become. I’m from New Orleans area, and at our brackish docks we have pet alligator gar who eat the fish we filet. They will stay in the same place that you feed them, and become very friendly when they hear boats or the electric filet knife. I have seen many a duck/pelican/seagul and more become breakfast along with fish remains we throw. They are a very intelligent and ethereal animal, but they are also a homing missle with teeth!

When I was looking into doing aquaculture, one of the things stressed was to grow crops that your fish will eat, fertilised by their waste. Normally you'd only use it as a supplementary feed, but I'm sure you could set something up on the farm just to feed your forage fish, especially with that nice shape to the land; some black plastic lined troughs with volcanic pebbles should be enough to grow food for them.

I would love to see a video on a pond or way to grow your own golden shiners

18:24 - Yeah, because the bands go all the way around I'm pretty sure it is a water moccasin aka cottonmouth. Poke at it and see if it opens its mouth wide. That's why they are called cottonmouths because their mouth is as white as cotton. The snake in the water has a checkered pattern which I'm pretty sure is a nonvenomous water snake.

I think a cost breakdown would be very interesting. I grew up on a 9 acre lake near Brazil Indiana that was an old coal mine strip pit. The lake had several underground springs to keep it fed and was full of bass and bluegill. It has been in my family for 66 years now. Watching the story of your pond is very interesting and brings back a lot of memories.

The idea for the bait fish pond is a great idea. It should save you a lot of money buying all those feeder fish. 😊

Brown trout would be a great addition to Cedar falls! You have plenty of current and unlike a rainbow that will die off in the heat the browns can withstand the heat and there still just as pretty as a bow. There also less aggressive so the other fish would still be dominate

I enjoy your channel so much. Love seeing ALL the different species of animals around your property. I wish the videos were longer and more often.

I love you pond videos. I do however miss your topwater fishing videos. That is how I found you. Thanks again for taking us along with your builds.

I think some stripers would make a nice addition especially if you can grow em to be larger than 20lbs
