sorry to be so long getting back, I was down at the pond looking for adults as Bill suggested. ewest, the dark line is internal, made more prominent in the pictures by the lighting I had to use to take the pics. I looked downstream of the pond and found under the spillway pipe about 10 adults that must have got sucked down the pipe when we had so much rain. I will take some pics when I can, but they did seem to be green sunfish by the looks of one small stunted adult that had been washed up on dry ground. I don't know how they got in my pond, but more than likely they were holdovers from a tiny pool in a small stream that fed the pond during heavy rain. I had never seen them though, so it came as a surprise to find them thriving and spawning evidently. How will this affect my plans to stock LMB 6-9 inch? Will they forage on these too quickly, or will they keep pace with LMB feeding?
