FYI, up at the pond this evening. There are still new ribbons, now showing up around the dam, at the north end.

Caught seven YP this evening. All before the feeder went off at 6:30. After it went off I noticed more YP rising to take feed than I've ever seen. This one was a little over 11". No eggs in any of the seven YP. Also, in cleaning the fish, I noticed most had pellets in their stomach. No other food appears eaten. There are lots of FHM everywhere.

Also had a GSH hit my little lure. First GSH I've seen since they were stocked a little less than a yr ago.

Clouds of FHM everywhere, so there's plenty of forage.

12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
