I've finally figured out one of the things I really like about my pond. It's the smell. It has that "live" smell unlike ponds with no fish in them. Not the smell of an empty pond with just water. I have very clean water and without the fish there was no smell, now it smells like life. You know the smell, the closest thing I can compare it too is the smell of the fish tanks in the bait shop. The smell of cool, well aerated water with lots of life in it. Not a fishy smell like a fish cleaning house, but a fishy smell like healthy, living fish. When the wind blows off the pond into my face I smell it and I know all is well.

Gotta get back to fishin!
