I don't have as many BG as I had the last 2 yr, but I have bigger ones, and I think I have plenty relative to the number of LMB. The pond has no vegetation other than FA (just starting to show up now). I had shiners last year, but haven't caught any this year. I planted 30 yellow perch last year, but haven't seen anything of them since. The pond also has GSF, BC, and WC, but not many of these. I've caught only one BC and no WC this year. It also has visiting ducks and geese now and then and a GBH. I've added scud and Daphnia, but without shelter, the scud probably had no chance.
