I forgot to update this thread...I had a few ribbons sighted on 4/25/17 with a water temp of 51°F.

The only reason I saw them was because some ducks were making a ruckus and weird sucking sounds around the corner in the rocks...walked over to see what they were up to found them fighting over the ribbons and then eating all the broken up chunks of ribbon (weird sucking noise as they inhaled water and ribbon so fast!) scattered around he pond edge.

Never saw any other ribbons this year. But I grabbed the leftover bits I could and let them sink in water deep enough the ducks couldn't dabble them anymore.

I'll post a separate thread on my successful in-pond feed training of yellow perch.


Best regards,
