Hello everyone I have, a 1/4 acre pond I've been having for about 10 months now. I stocked fingerling catfish and minnows in around 6 months ago. They were about 13 to 15" from the last time I fished about 55 days ago. Well we had hurricane Harvey come and take over my backyard as you can see. My pond was about 10 ft deep in the middle where most catfish were. There is a runoff levee in the back of my property that I found out was tied to the brazos river. When the brazos overflowed it flooded the levee which in turned flooded my property about 5 ft in the back which swallowed my pond. I have a 6ft fence with 2ft chicken wire on the bottom so in some areas fish had about 4ft to swim out if they could get through the pickets. My neighbors on both sides of me had fish in their yard( one was a 8 lb cat and another had a large koi fish and a smaller catfish) and they do not have ponds. Is it possible my fish maybe did not leave the bottom of the pond. I had not seen them for a month prior to the storm because it was so hot. The pond is back at its normal level now and I tried to fish to see if anything was left. A lot of the minnows are gone now I did notice. Do you think I need to start over or is their a way to find out if they are ion there. I tried a go pro but its too brown to see anything. Just looking for options even though I think I have to start over. Thanks for your replies
