The wife and I wanted to drive up to see if the property got any snow with this storm. It got a little and made for some nice pictures. The pond was almost frozen over. Going to be down to 8 today and tonight. Any chance the fish will make it?

The trout? Easily, unless you really stocked to high of a number. How long will the ice last? May be a week?

Ice should be gone in a few days. What about the fatheads?

FHM should be fine too. The trout will probably be the cause of their demise before the cold.

I dont know how all of you up north deal with snow. We got 8inches dumped on us last night and everything is shutdown. Did my first ever snow clearing the driveway with the loader, and am pretty sure i removed all the gravel with the snow off of it.

My backyard sure does look nice though.

Sorry to report that the fatheads are still there, mostly in Washington, D.C.

Went and grilled out this weekend and the trout are doing well. They put on a show for about 30 minutes busting the minnows. Thought the FHM would be gone by now. The trout have been in there 2 months now and have grown a few inches. Made 4 cast and caught 3. Going to give them another month and we will be having fresh trout on the grill. The frogs have moved in, and it was unreal how loud they got. Also, I was gathering some fire wood near the pond and I heard running water.. found a good sized underground stream feeding the pond. Last owner told me it was just runoff fed. Hopefully enough to keep it cooled down this summer.

Could be snow melt running into the pond....keep an eye on it to see if it dries up....a spring above the water line would be awesome!

Lisa caught her first trout last night. Fish were very aggressive. She caught 7 in about 15 minutes. They are eating well, everyone was fat.

Set some trail cameras out Thursday, hoping to catch a deer. Only crows and a hawk.

Didnt get a lot done the second half of last year. It was hinted that maybe too much bass fishing was the cause. The trout lasted till the end of May and made some fine meals. Did not restock this winter (again maybe too much bass fishing). FH are thriving from original stocking. I was shocked the trout did not wipe them out. But now they have the pond to themselves.
We started on the barn last month and finished it up in a few weekends. Have applied for the septic permit and hoping to break ground in the next few weeks.



This barn was tore down off of my current residence. It was built in 1979. The lumber back then is nothing like we have now.
