Since Friday afternoon my rain gauge has measured 9+". The pond was out of its banks Saturday morning and running across the yard about 8" deep. I think the pond may have gotten at least a 50% flush of new water. Still have reasonable color from the dye application I did two weeks ago, but I think I'm gonna have to add a bit.

I had left one of my cloverleaf traps on the bank with the bottle still loaded with bait and the water was high enough that it had BG stranded in the trap when the water drained off.

Wind blew so hard it pushed water under the lid of the Black Soldier Fly generator lid and dampened things up quite a bit. They seem to have survived ok, but the cooler temps have definitely reduced their activity.
