I’ve been doing this for a long time and been here before. Droughts happen in Texas and we’re in a long term dandy. I don’t live there but was there yesterday. Texas Hunter feeder won’t throw food enough to hit the water. I hand tossed some feed and a few bluegills came up. Certainly had a die off due to not enough O2 to support what used to be 3 acres of fish. I left a huge brush pile when it was built about 30 years ago. One big limb was sticking up but was always under water. Dang thing is now about 5 ft in the air and I’m about 8 ft low.

My 1/4 acre pond, a mile from the house, is only about 1/3 full with some green sunfish.

A couple of smaller seasonal ponds and a spring fed creek went months ago.

We recently got 1.6 inches of rain. No run off. But, it beats nothing.

Glad I no longer have cows or horses. A local guy took all of his to the sale barn when his water holes started drying up.

Deer season (archery) is on and I told grandsons not to hunt around the water.

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.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
