Mine has REALLY drawn down due to zero rain and hot summer. 3 acres has turned into maybe 1/2 acre and about 7 ft low. Feeder can no longer toss feed far enough to get in the water. Middle of next week we have a chance of rain. Yesterday I hand tossed feed and maybe 10 fish came up. Also 4 turtles. When, or if, it rains enough I’ll have to again restock.

There are benefits to drawdowns but they need to be in moderation.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
