Morning All !
In 2002 I completly drained my pond...DRY !...the pond refilled over the course of a month or so and was not stocked due to my Iraqi deployment...November of 2003 I stocked with 800 Coppernose and 400 Shellcrackers...this spring I started feeding 32% floating food...noticed Bullheads feeding and balls of Bullhead fry, lots of them ! Yesterday I flyfished trying to catch one or two of the Coppernose to see how they were faring...caught a &*%$ Green sunfish about 7 inches long ! My pond is apprx 1 acre right now and is not fed by any flowing water...ie, these fish could not have come from an outside water source...so, how did this happen, drained dry, no fish or any other life for at least two weeks and not stocked with these species...but have two species (Bullhead and "Greenie") that I don't desire ! BTW, not picking on these species, I just don't want them in my pond...any thoughts or suggestions out there on this ?
