Joey, would that just cause a slow down on feeding? Hopefully not fatal to the fish. No fish floating, but I’ve never had many floaters. Seems like the colder water I have makes them sink.
I’ll be back there Monday and see how they are feeding. I didn’t have that much FA at least compared to other ponds in the area. My banks are fairly steep. The FA was all fairly close to the bank.


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.
