At the pond again yesterday. Water seemed cooler when we swam, and we did go down at 3:30, which I thought would have been the warmest water temps. Surface temp was still 88, 2.5’ down it was still 83, and 5’ deep it was still 77. Still in very early stages of aeration consideration. Next two weeks (starting Wednesday). appear to be pretty hot, with temps in the mid 90s daily. Have had two .1” rains since 6/22. Pond level is down about 5”. That’s 22 days. So I’m still losing about 1/4” a day due to small leak and evaporation.

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.
