The turtle has came back this year. This turtle thinks it needs a little tan to get the spring going. Not sure what's normal but feels pretty good hitting the 60's at the beginning of march.

Just gave the pond a new hair cut. I'm a out a foot n half low. We havnt had a good rain around here months. I think it has helped grow vegetation. I can see maybe 9 inches of vis which is amazing for my pond.

I have 3 kio and somewhere around 5 catfish. Also have various kinds of perch, bluegill, large mouth bass, 2 grass crap. There is some crawdads but don't see them very often. When I did a jar test it cleared very lil. I'm wanting to treat with alum. but I want the banks to get a good growth first. I plan on take the catfish out also. If the koi reproduce I will take them out also. Right now is prolly the best clarity iv ever had on the pond.

Your peninsula reminds me of the base of an arrowhead. Do you plan to put anything on it?

Rusto, that looks familiar, maybe you posted it before. I was thinking a gazebo of some sort would be nice but then started wondering if it would hurt the view from your deck. I started thinking maybe a round patio of stone with a stone fire ring and stone benches around it. Then you can see the stars at night and not block your view. The gazebo would let you set out there even if you get a little rain. If your gazebo is all metal and tall enough maybe you could vent it in the center and put a small fire ring under it. You may have already thought of all of this but just thought I'd tell you what I would be thinking about if it was me.
