Just before the holiday weekend I restocked the pond.
After a long winter and a frozen soild pond, I only lost a rainbow and two PSs. The rainbow had wintered over for two years, so I was sad to lost it. I still haven't seen the other PSs, but the weather has been really cold with snow on Saturday.
Replenished the pond with (22) 6-8" bows and (4) 8-10" brookies. Not bad for $25 from my local hatchery. It's the first time I have put brookies in, so will see how long they last into the year.
After I stocked, I placed in the waterfall pump for areation. After startup I was surprised to see a white cloud appear on the surface and spread over he pond. This was the first I have ever seen this happen. Was it from the dead zone on the pond bottom? It cleared up the following day after a night rain.
