There is no aeration in the lakes above but like I mentioned most have a diverse amount of vegitation providing o2 - FA, american pond weed, cabbage and curly leaf. The larger bodies of water have a great deal of wave action too.

Have you taken a boat onto the pond? I bet you have some "deep water" plants, especially in the late spring, that aren't visible from shore.
