Splandman,
I just came back from your area, via the Pond Boss Five conference in Southwestern Missouri. I'm probably not the guy to ask for moving forward on your ponds, but I hopefully bring some optimism.
From the time we left West Virginia nearly two weeks ago, until we returned today, we saw day after day of rain. Actually, we got home a day late because of heavy rain across I-40 between OK City and here.
At the Pond Boss conference near Branson, MO., we needed our umbrellas late last week. As we headed into Oklahoma several days ago, and as we traveled into western OK, we saw a lot of swollen red rivers. At my son's house in Edmond, we saw most ponds over full pool.
I think there is room for a lot of optimism. This might be a great time to restock what you really want. If these were my ponds, I would seriously think about killing off any remaining fish in the ponds.
Now is the time to come up with a comprehensive set of goals for your ponds. Decide what you want from each. It is a great time to stock ponds, before it gets too cold or too warm.
Regards,
Ken
