Setterguy:
The pond looks good! How much water is in it now?? I'll bet you're going to need to talk to Rex (Rainman) about doing an alum treatment for your pond. It looks pretty turbid from the clay.

Got the Fatheads in there yet??


The clay is starting to settle a bit, but I suspect I'll need the aluminum treatment.
No minnows yet. Hopefully in the next week or two. Do I need to get a feeder going for fatheads?
Still at 5'+. No additional rain, but. maybe some today. Great, the straw isn't done.
The good news it, it's only dropped about a half inch in the last week or so.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
