Thanks, Ted. I guess good heads-up pondmeistering would be to keep track of weather (wind and rain contributing to oxygenating and mixing) as well as air & water temps. If we assume bottom temps coming out of Winter are a little above 39 degrees F, we can track how well the whole pond is staying mixed by watching the surface temp. I'm not in a big hurry to haul the canoe down to the pond and check bottom water temps yet.
