I live in southeast Texas and in the past few weeks we have recieved a great deal of rain in a very short amount of time (6 1/2 inches one night). Prior to this rain my pond was down approx: 12 inches and I was able to see blue gill spawning beds in the shallows. The rain brought the level of water up to the point that the pond overflowed and continued to do so for at least a twenty-four hour period.

My question is, will this change in water level destroy the spawning efforts of my bluegill? If so, is it too late in the year for another spawn? I have hungry LMB waiting!
