If there is no visual proof and no noticed activity then fish a little or try a seine test. There are probably BG there. Any history of winter kills or DO problems in the pond before? They should be spawning soon so keep an eye out for beds.
I don’t know of any DO problems. This pond is inside the peninsula of our bigger pond and gets plenty of wind fetch. I suppose a winter kill is possible as it’s fairly shallow and we had some ice coverage last year. I do notice that the crawfish we stocked are showing up to eat the aquamax. Would you consider adding the bass soon or giving the bg more chances to spawn? Thanks for the help ewest. As much as I’ve been around I’ve never had any experience stocking a renovated pond.
