Most of the ponds around here that I've seen aren't in too bad of shape. We had a big rain on June 23rd, that filled a lot of them up. I do have one new little pond on my yard that is still in its saturating the ground stage. I made the mistake of throwing 100 perch and some fatheads in it back in May and I've been keeping them alive with water from a garden hose. I may have to move them to a cage in my big pond soon.
