Forgot to mention - the abundance of coppernose bluegill spawn. Was incredible to see. From the smallest with their sacks to those one half inch to those one inch to those larger. The CNBG are breeding machines.
Along every bank were young bluegill. Two sides of our pond are essentially steep drops into 6 feet of water, and then the two other sides are much more gradual slope. There is also a gradual slope where I've been building a beach, and the grass grows here so the bluegill congregate.
A goal for 2016 is to sink all of the structure I've assembled to provide more habitat as well as fishing zones.
