After that deluge of rain yesterday I was interested in what changes it made to the pond. Visibly has been reduced to about 16". The surface temp at 3:30pm (still cloudy and threatening rain) is 83*. Ph reading is 8.0.

I walked the ditches along the property where the pond drains and saw a lot of tiny minnows scurrying around, but no evidence of anything substantial in the ditch. There still appears to be a lot of GAMS and FHM in the pond, tho. Feeding today was also on track. While I was out also cleaned off the grate covering the overflow pipe. It was completely clogged with FA.

.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
