I feel your pain!

My 4+ acre pond is now less than an acre of surface water and we have NO money at all right now! Even a $350 aeration system is out of our reach. Besides, there's no electricity there. I've looked into windmill aerators but they're out of my price range too.

Bad time for a drought! We're just expecting a fish kill. Even the beavers have abandoned my pond.

We're trying to remove fish but they aren't biting much. The ones we're catching look very healthy, though. My pond is totally covered in cover - not a square yard that doesn't have stumps and limbs and trees - so, seining is out of the question.

It's a very sad situation but all we've been able to do is check on it and fret about it. And, pray for rain!


If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?
