About 25 years ago a neighbor was burning trash on a windy day. He was pretty young at the time and had just moved out of town. He tossed an old cotton mattress on the fire. Pieces of burning cotton got airborne and my place, along with about another 1,000 acres, burnt off.
Luckily, it was during the Winter and the sap was down in the oaks. In the Spring everything came back beautifully. A couple of years ago, a fire got out of control in my area but didn't get to me. It was during the Summer and the trees in that area have never recovered. That area still looks pretty nasty.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
