Rain rain go away! This is the 3rd time in six months my pond has been over the spillway. Will I have any fish left?
According to Lusk, most fish try to go upstream. Hybrid strippers and small fish are the exception in Texas

I have seen very small YOY BG washed over my spillway during a flood but never any larger ones.

One exception was a big grass carp. I have heard they like to go with the flow when they have the chance.

Each time my 2 acre pond has gone over my earthen spillway I have picked up several hundred 1-2 inch cnbg from the puddles and in the grass on the backside of spillway. I just walk over there with a 5 gallon bucket with water and gather them back up and put them back in the pond. Every now and then a 4-5 inch one would go over. No lmb...only cnbg
