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
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.

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
Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
