Stopped by the pond and snapped a few pics and here they are. The average depth is probably around 5-6'. The muck is pretty thick. I didnt have a weight or rope, I just used my fishing rod and dipped it into the water. I didn't see any fish at all. Usually I can sneak up on them while in the float tube, but had no luck with my stealthiness nor did I have luck with my angling skill set. I did see a ton of cool looking birds and a lot of lil tadpoles. One of the tadpoles was brown, had a huge head, and looked to have tan stripes going across it.

I also looked at where the water was streaming into the street. It looks almost similar to a creek mouth but I have no idea why someone would put that there or whether it was the work of the beavers. Anyways without further delay here are the pictures.

This is the view from my insertion location via float tube of course.





This is the type of brush that is all over the place. Majority of it seems dead but I did see some live branches on a few.







Here are the weeds that are found in the spots where the brush is absent.







View from about 20ft into the pond from my insertion point. This is probably 30ft from the far shore. The pond extends about 20 ft short of those evergreens way in the background. You can really see how thick that brush gets and it gives you an idea of the size of the pond.




Lastly, can we say beaver alert?
