Here are a couple pictures of the goldfish pond out front.<br />

<br />Okay if the pics don't come up because they did not for me but here is the webpage to see them. Disturbed Fisherman <br /><br />I say I am okay because I am only using a dry fly and it is barbless. I also plan to pratice catch and release if one of those fish ever take the fly instead of just hitting it and spitting it out in a nanosecond. What do you think???

Nope the agreement was I dig,line,help with original landscaping, feed the fish and foot the bill for any new plants/landscaping she would, purchase what she wanted, make all decisions, weed and take care of the pond maintanence. Heck there are places where I can't even get my wide self w/o falling in.

Peter, have you thought about openning a fishing guide service? The pond looks to be a good 8x10 at least? Im suprised you dont have a life vest on! Have you ever been pulled in?

Peter, take it from me sport, after 20 years in psychiatry, it all looks perfect. One suggestion only - have you got lights for night fishing? We wouldn't want to forget there's 24 hours in a day would we?<br />Ross

Being in South Carolina, I bet there's no danger of it freezing out. Can I rent a slip there? I need a good winter home for when the ice here is deeper than my auger is, long. :p

Whats the limit on goldfish and is there a slot? Can I keep all I catch or is this catch and release only?

Re: My wife thinks I am "Disturbed"

very nice. and i see you have a nifty way to do an annual fish checkup of weight gain, population, etc - by hookin up a little 1oz lead weight with a wire to the nearby fence and tossin it in there! oh yeah, you might want to run a length of tall grass edging around it to keep those creepy crawly snakeheads out!
