My poor pond is at least 3 feet below normal and it's not very deep to begin with.
I enjoyed the article in the most recent Pond Boss about hot, dry summer conditions and how it shrinks ponds but the fish can tough it out. At least, that's what I got out of it.
The fishing has really stunk everywhere during this hot weather! My pond is no exception but, all the fish (or should I say both of the fish) that we've caught have looked quite plump and healthy. We had a great bluegill spawn and there are frogs in abundance. I'm not sure if any of our golden shiner fry survived - the minnow traps we've put out have yeilded mostly baby bluegill and only a couple of golden shiners.
OK - this is just an observation. I don't have a question.
