This is only early July, but it feels like this is the warmest my pond has been since built 4+ years ago. So 2 questions.
What’s too warm for a SMB / YP pond? I am not fishing because the water seems warm.
More important. Where do I get the temp? Two feet down and we are still pretty cold. I’m going to take the digital thermometer down later today and want to get a reading. Do I get it right along the bank? On the surface? How far out and how deep?
I’m sure this info is here on the forum, but a quick search wasn’t revealing much. (Could be my search skills). Trying to get specific to SMB and YP.
Edit. This is the darkest the water has been also. Least amount of visibility. About 12”. I would imagine that contributes to higher temps. As the dark is absorbing more heat.
Thanks,
Jeff

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.
