Just looking ahead to March and April. This will be the first spring in years that my POND will be full going into spring. Plus, since it was down 4-5� all last summer, there�s lots of weeds that grew up along the banks, that are now under water. So, there�s lots of cover for ribbons and fry. Really hoping to get good perch recruitment this spring. Should I take screen and protect some of the ribbons to keep the GSH from working over the ribbons/fry?
Last two years, as soon as I�d start seeing a few ribbons, we would get a big rain or two, and the ribbons would be four feet deep, and in very little cover. I�m just 8� from overflow now. I suspect I�ll have a full pond in March.

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.
