Carl, that was my first thought when I saw all the leaves. Then I started thinking about the shear weight of all those wet leaves. I get this many every fall, and haven’t removed any yet. A few months ago I waded the circumference of the pond, about 10-12 feet from shore. I was really surprised at how few leaves I was finding. Maybe they dissolve or just drift deeper.
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. Otter attack in 2023
