Absolutely. I�ll be up there a bunch this spring. It should be a good year for survival, if I get many ribbons. The pond is full, and for the first five feet along the bank, below the surface it�s great cover. Lots of tall weeds from last summer�s drought are just below the surface.
I was there yesterday. Water going out the overflow pipe with more coming in. The surface still has 2� of ice though. Might be a little later this year.

Picking up a TX feeder this week. Hope to keep the feed running this summer.

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.
