Ordered a pond water test kit the other day. Took it to the pond yesterday.
PH is neutral, (7.0 to 7.5) 0 ammonia, nitrite is 0, Phosphates are 0 too.

Then I fished for a while.. whistle
Had six SMB on, but only got one to the boat. Boy are they a blast.


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.
Otter attack in 2023.
