Gotta run, but couldn't take O2 readings yesterday due to the rain and visiting friends/family. Had another 5/8" yesterday, pond is now 8"-10" from full pool. The pond is starting to look like it should look now.

Found some more dead trout, 2 dead BG, 3 dead YP and 1 dead tagged LMB (#51) that was about 3#. Can only think the influx of water is the cause. I'll bet the pond water volume about doubled in the past 2 weeks.

Am I concerned about the dead fish? Well, I wish the trout would have made it, but there are still a few that I can see in the pond - one reason that I stocked Golden RBT - easier to see in the water. As for the others, I just figure that it's Mother Nature taking out the weakest. I'm not worried, as the amount of dead fish is miniscule compared to the amount of live fish in the pond.

I'll take O2 and temp readings when I get back.
