Pond looks good when it is that full!
Any activity noted?


It does look better, that’s for sure. I imagine the feeder is ok. The water didn’t get to the lower motor. I had disconnected the battery earlier, so no water was thrown up into the feeder. There were some swirls out in the water. I did not throw any food out. It got down to 20 later that evening. I backed the feeder up the bank. Should have done it earlier, but most rains bypass our place. Another front coming through Monday. But it’s just a couple inches from the pipe. If we could just get regular predicted rainfall, it would always look like this. Ha! Looking down behind the dam, there’s moisture in the old ravine bottom, but I really think it’s just recent rain coming off the sides of the ravine and back of the dam. If I have a leak, it’s impossible to find it. Wet spot is pooled water in the ravine, no current to it.


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.
