I didn’t want to start a new thread about fish kills, so I’m just jumping in on this thread. I was at my pond yesterday. We’ve had a lot of days in the 90s, and I’m sure a lot more are coming. I don’t aerate, so not much I can do about it, but my water temps are climbing. I get a temp off the dock about 15’ from shore, and a foot deep. It was 87 degrees. Warmer than in the past at this time of year, that’s for sure. Diving in off the dock, it’s still pretty cool once you get down about 18”. My water clarity is about 12”.
What temps should I be looking out for that may signal impending problems? I could take the jon boat down in the evening and run the motor for a while to stir things up. Would that be advisable?
Thx
Jeff
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
