Thanks Oldscony, your joyful note helped out. You are right about the fish kill being no fun. The fish well some, were almost like pets. Yes, even the LMB would come into the shore for their treats!! I miss them. I have seen only one BG and that may be one of the ones that we just put in. My son and I are going to go fishing again this Saturday for more BG. You are right, it is fun to re-stock, and track. We certainly know more then we did 9yrs ago.
Our frogs are back too jumping in with no fear. Nature sure know what to do, till man comes along and messes with things - sometimes.
I hope all is well with your uncle's pond. What happened with you Uncle's pond to cause such a fish kill. I really don't think any survived in our pond. I don't see any small ones in the iris where they usually hide. No I wont use any more Cutrine. I only used some along the edges where there was algea growing on the rocks.
I hope everyone has a joyous abundant pond season.
