Ponds have had a weak siphon discharge for a week and with rains yesterday kicked into high gear - first good flush in some five years.   I am excited and looking forward to some of the best fly fishing in this part of the country. I am going to �load the wagon� with some of the very best HSB that Todd is holding for me Son Jeff, the LMB guy, will continue aggressive culling LMB to optimize size for his Camelot Bells and possible F1�s that made the cut. I�m not interested in growing trophy size HSB - just easy to catch nice size best fighting fish ever developed for pond fly fishing. Did I say I was excited - yeah there is snow on the ground this morning but spring is about to be sprung! George

It is great to see this pond flushing George!! Things are shaping up for a great year for your pond program! I hope to get some threadfin shad stocked in your pond this year as well. This winter would have been rough on threadfins at your latitude.
It's ALL about the fish!

Thanks Todd, TFS will be a good addition for forage base for the "double down" numbers of HSB we will be stocking!

Awesome G - I bet that flushing just renewed your pond a good few seasons - good to see.

George, with what you have been through (fish die off and vegetation problems) it looks to me you have some good friends out here and things are on the upswing. Looking good amego

Good to hear George.
I'm releasing 3.25 Million gallons over the next month out of my duck pond. Wish I could save it for this summer.
