I believe this forum 100% directly saved my pond from catastrophic fish kill this year.. I had a kill a few years back and the weather then was nothing like this year.. I did everything I could this year to keep my fish alive and still lost 6 very large lmb and a trophy BG.. With my pond being well over 30 yrs old and the plant and biomass along with the population I have packed in this pond I'm lucky and and I can damn near guarantee there is no pond in my area remotely similar to mine.. I would call your experiment more like your experience for this winter but it's by no means a guideline anyone should follow except maybe you again next year..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
