There’s nothing on tv anymore that I want my 7 year old watching, but he certainly loves every episode of yours. We watch you religiously and look forward to each new episode. Thank you for all that you do. And in my humble opinion, all of the happiness that you bring to your extended 5 acre pond family must make it a complete success. 👍🏼

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.

Another good option for any kind of sapling or plant that they want to protect is some basic deer fencing, you can whip something up with a couple of stakes and deer netting, which you can get in 100' by 7' rolls from somewhere like Home Depot for $20-$30, that might be a bit more reliable and make it easier to check in on the saplings

3:47 maybe its a regional thing but adding Trout to the pond seemed like a bad idea to me.... here in CA it seems to be pretty common that Trout become the most dominant species. Ive fished multiple waterways that should be dominated by bass due to the stillness of the water, the vegetation and water temperature but it seems Trout become the more dominant species according to the numbers of fish I catch. It seems to be about a 90% to 10% trout to bass ratio

You should name the new bass Sally because Sally is the name of the person who survived “the Texas chainsaw massacre” and it is the first bass to survive a spawn in the small ponds

1. Cottonmouth, 2. Brown water snake! He’s a nice guy 3. Alligator gar would be a great addition to cedar falls; if you don’t want people to swim in there anymore ! A friendly alligator gar will live 10-15 years or more and grow to 6+ normally. The problem is that they will become too friendly and blindly hit things that hit the water! 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!

Agreed that gar would b bad idea. If the objective would be to ‘catch’ them, then they will tear up every lure you use. And they will sheer off most lines, unless ur using a metal leader. Just not good species for sport fishing

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.

It's beautiful! Always nice to see how a pond can be an ecosystem for so much wildlife. As others have pointed out there is some potential for adding flowers, dead wood and other things to support even more animals. I recommend Stefano Ianiro's channel for some inspiration.

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.

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
