I have (had) a 3.5 acre pond that is now about 2 1/2 acres due to the severe drought... I renovated the pond last year, and all of my fish are doing great. Tiger bass have exceeded 1 pound and are moving toward 2 pound range after only being stocked since May of this year.
I have lost 6 feet vertically over the summer with only 1/2" of rain in the last 60 days. I have been in a near frenzy worrying about this and have decided to contract a well driller to come out and start feeding some water into my pond... Now I am wondering if this is a good idea. I dont think my pond will dry up but most of my manufactured habitat is out of the water, my (known) bream bed areas are all dry... i still have 3 to 10 foot depth in a lot of pond... Is adding well water a waste of time?? Any thoughts?
7 Acre +/- pond. Stocked with CNBG, RESF, GS, TFS, FHM, in March - June of 2008, Stocked with 200 3" F1 Tiger Bass in March of 2010... Additional stockings of CNBG, Tilapia, FHM in May of 2011.April of 2012 and May of 2013.
