We've had some small rains. However, the exposed banks make for a muddy mess. The 1.3 acre, 14 ft deep, pond is now a 3 ft deep, 1/4 acre mud hole stocked with turtles. Nothing comes to feed so I guess I've already had the kill. I figured it would happen but none of the neighbors needed fish. They don't have much water either.

My small1/10 acre forage pond has about 16 inches of clear water and some BG's and RES left. I need to seine it and dump the fish in the creek. It still has water but won't make it through the summer.

Consider me a Pond Boss no more.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
