Rex, it must be my misjudgment of length. And that's all I will say about that.

Also, there must have been something hatching late yesterday. I almost ran back to the barn for the fly rod. All across the pond, fish were rising, and eating something. I have no idea which fish were feeding, but for about 30 minutes, there was a lot of activity.
Hopefully, they were eating mosquitos!

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.
