"Regarding the cormorant slaughter - Just a note about a personal experience.

I have a small pond 150' x 100', 12' deep which I had dug in 1985. Over the
years, I''ve kept it stocked with rainbow trout and enjoyed fishing year
around."

Where are you located? It would be a great help if you put your location
after your name at the end.
