I wandered around after work today and just observed things. I don't have any fish yet, aside from a few dozen fatheads that I've tossed in after crappie fishing this spring, but I'm amazed at how much life there is.
The daphnia I put in earlier in the spring seem to be doing well. They are everywhere near the shoreline. The bullfrogs have been busy making more bullfrogs. The bottom is covered with tadpoles. They also seem to like the pallet stacks. I've noticed several different species of aquatic insects, both adults and nymphs.
All of the plants I put out last weekend are looking good.
My previous worries about turbid water were unfounded. Visibility was 4'-5' before the rains came through the other night. It clouded up a bit with the inflow, but is already back to 2'-3'.
