My once 1/4 acre pond is now down 23" from full and has lost about 35% of its full volume. I have been feeding twice a day, morning and evening, about one pound at a time, optimal and catfish pellets mixed.

Should I cut that in half and go to one feeding a day, in the morning?

I hope to avoid a fish kill. I have about 150 adult BG and RES and about 70 CC averaging 12", along with a LOT of FHM and baby BG and RES. Stocking was done last Sept-Dec. I know I need to catch out some of the CC, but was hoping to wait another month for a little more size gain.

Water temps have cooled somewhat to around 80 degrees with the cooler nights and mostly cloudy days we are having, but the local drought continues.
