Cecil those are some nice and interesting pics. You have such a nice place(regardless of Condumellos magic water). It is kinda a shame tho, I can remember when that ditch looked like the water around the Keys. Bill, I checked my pms and it was on Mar 29 last yr that you found the first skein, sack, whatever. Said the temp was 46 degrees, I'm sure ya meant the water-right? I just put in 6 groups of shore sticks today to try to attract the egg layers. I've removed two xmass trees from the deep in an effort to keep the reproduction to a minimum. Damn hard work and then it seems I remember Cecil saying alot of his eggs got laid up in the underwater grass by the shore. If that is correct I'm going to be overrun with baby Perch. I have about three feet of 7-8" grass all around the pond from last yr when the water level was so much lower. Geez, I guess it all depends.


Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.
