22 degrees here at sunrise. First hard freeze. Ponds still relatively warm. Bluegill still feeding, CC surfacing a little for feed.
A neighbor's deep pond with steep banks about 700' south of mine is neglected, not managed, not fed, has only small sunfish AFAIK, and has a pea soup look all summer. No FA, just completely green water. It's surrounded on three sides by trees. It only gets runoff from a hay field and three back yards from a nearby subdivision, so the source of nutrients is probably from leaves, maybe a little turkey litter that the hay field gets once a year.
