Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose On Mutt Pond

I often observe my BG leaving the nest, most often due to a cold front passing through. I don't know what your temps are today, but it was almost chilly down here this afternoon. Combine that with a cool rain, and I think it would be enough to send them back out deeper for a bit. I'm betting they'll be back when it warms up a degree or two.

Once the males commit to the nest, I think they are less likely to be driven off....but not guaranteed.
