Envying you guys who live where it rains. We are in an extended drought.

Was reading new member B Storms post about building a pond with 30 acres of runoff. That sounds great ASSUMING it rains. According to a neighbors automated weather system program, we have had approx 6 inches in the last 12 months. None forecasted. My spring fed creek dried up 6 months ago.My Texas Hunter feeder won’t throw far enough to hit water. According to the dam overflow pipe I’m about 7 ft low. I hand tossed some pellets and a few fish came to feed. I’ll have to restock but have been here before but not this extreme.

My small 1/4 acre green sunfish pond is about gone. It’s a mile from the house but enough water for a few of them to stay alive.

But, my Grandson had a great idea. He said we could haul the feeder down to where the water is. That ought to bring a frog strangler rain and it would make good fish structure. Buying a new feeder might be a good trade off.

Need to search the web for some improved rain dance steps. But, according to a Cherokee I know, that’s never worked for him. However for a fee or maybe beer, he said he would gladly drop by.

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.
