Saturday morning walked up to my 2/3 acre pond and saw several fish scatter ,, got to looking and saw about 50 catfish mostly in 2 schools just hanging below the surface and a few scattered around the pond ,, sometimes some would surface like they were not getting enough air ,,catfish seemed to be the only fish that did this ,, plenty of minnows and bluegill acted fine .
Here are a few facts that could help
1 this pond had no fish till this year why we have no idea ]just purchased the land
2 stocked catfish ,, grass carp ,, fathead minnows ,, copper nose blue gill back in feb
3 water table varies from 5 inches to 8 foot
4 we just had a big rain that added about 4 inches fresh water
[ tropical dep bill]
5 about 20 percent of surface is watershield ,,, other parts has been treated all spring to keep it out
6 no chemicals can enter from rain run off
7 with in 2 hours fish were gone and none died ,,
