Just a quick note on my pond and ribbon production. We've had 2 1/4" of rain in the last 36 hrs. I went by the pond today. It was still raining, and water was still flowing in the inlets. (Although it was more of just a trickle.) The good news is, my water level has come up 18" with the rain. The bad news is, I did not see a single ribbon. Water temps were still in the mid 50s. Clarity was greatly reduced with the runoff. About 12". I'm still about 4' below full pool. Not sure how this event will impact the YP survival, or if those, now much more submerged, ribbons will hatch.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
