Hiya Mickey! *hugs* Where have you been? Been missing you...

Ayup, 20' is easier to cover, easier to seine, easier to manipulate and manage the water. At least I *think* so.

Never seen any producing ponds that width?

*prunes lips, knits brows into a tight weave as a bright lightbulb shines overhead*

I have.

And they produce gazillions of salmon, steelhead and trout every year. Of course they're lined with cement and have gigantic bakki's with chilled water flowing through....
