Thanks for all the great information guys. After having such an easy winter, the last thing I expected was a winter kill. We have a quarter acre pond on the same property, no aeration with little supplemental food and have never had an issue there. There are 3 striped bass in that pond, and they are happy and healthy.

Can anyone suggest how to prevent this from occurring in the future? The pond is fed from underground springs and is located in perhaps the nastiest location for severe winter weather in our region.

Edited to say that one of our pond users caught 3 HSB at the pond this weekend, so maybe there's still hope.

Thanks again.
