I not a home this week, otherwise I'd post some photos. Maybe next week.

P.S. The island is in a 1/3 acre Pond.


Thanks! Please post a pic when you can. I was thinking about a rest stop/island for turtles too, so this could kill two birds with one stone.

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.
