so one possibility for me is to stock a limited number of bass sooner rather than later before the BG and GSF become too numerous. i was thinking later this summer into fall, but perhaps i really need to think about later this spring.
of course i may not have any fish left at all (quasi kidding) after today. bruce, you noticed some large eyes on some of my stockers......well i guarantee you every fish and frog in that pond had large eyes today and hopefully hunkered down somewhere deep:
the first three are from this morning:
a somewhat high but normal spillway action:
sediment basin doing its job separating muddy from clear water:
nice steady incoming water:
these last shots taken after several yellow and red doppler weather cells passed through this afternoon.....yikes!
even with the flow this morning, there were several stooopid bullfrog tadpole fighting the spillway current and losing, but i think for the most part the fish tend to lean upstream or hunker down in the calmer water.....lets hope!
