Yesterday my pond still had ice covering about half of it but today it was all gone other than a few little spots on the edge. I seen a little movement at the edge on the side that gets more sun so I thought I'd throw out a little feed and see what happened. I had a lot of BG coming up to feed. I was kind of surprised since the ice just melted. I was also glad to see a lot of FHM swimming around in my sediment pond. I just put them in last year and didn't know if they would survive the winter since it isn't very big and not very deep. I trapped a bunch of them early last fall and put them in the main pond and it looks like I have plenty left to reproduce more. Hopefully it will help keep at least a small amount going in the main pond.
