Bill, I'm trying to remember.. Is your pond new? Is it full? I. In the waiting mode still on plantings, because I still need 3+ feet of water to reach full pool. I don't want to start planting until I'm a little closer to full. We've had a whopping 1.5" of rain in the last few weeks, not really helping.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
