That is what I am concerned with is there a minimum they should need of one or the other or both?
If I can get out in the next week or so I may try to wade through the pools and see how deep they are, otherwise it will be next spring or summer when it warms again.
I wouldn't do anything if I was in your shoes. The fish are going to be fine unless something extreme and probably out of the ordinary happens. Lower water levels due to a dry season are not likely going to be much of a factor. Seriously, don't worry about it and like the other seriously experienced folks here have already said, nothing is going to happen - the fishing will still be there in spring. If you just can't help yourself from doing something, though, catch a few and toss them into your ponds, being mindful of course of all the warnings that are posted here about putting wild fish into your ponds. 'Nuff said!
