Folks are fine! (At least until the next subduction zone earthquake on the Juan de Fuca plate. eek)

I'm fine. I have new crib north of town with a silted in pond with lots of cottonwoods around it. I have a couple of guys coming out to start knocking down trees and digging out the small 1/4 acre pond this week. smile

I haven't been out to the old place for a while, it's just not the same without the folks there.

I'll pop in more often.

As far as I'm concerned, those are your smallies in your folks old lake. Didn't we have a global toast when you let freedom ring for those smallies?

Raymond? Your new place must be just a few miles from my pond.

Bullhead, I'm straight north of Raymond, straight east of Wildwood near Raymond Central School. Wildwood does have quite a few LMB from the old pond in it that NGPC moved there after Wildwood had a fish kill.

Ewest, yes I am thinking about SMB and RES, maybe even few GSF too! I've even considered experimenting with just a GSF and SMB combination. I will make up my mind about it once the dirt work is done and the new pond starts filling up. grin

Here is a picture of the existing pond from last summer.

I'm not sure how to respond to that.

I'm sure there must be some witty, cleaver retort that I should be typing but but it eludes me at this particular moment.

Accordingly I shall reply with a patented....

OH SNAP!!!

...but that seems entirely inadequate.

Inadequate? More like entirely impotent.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
