I lost an awful lot of my wild blackberry vines during our long, and still occurring, drought. One local guy decided not to sell his place until our long drought ends. Good excuse for me also. A running, spring fed creek beats a dry wash. A couple of half full ponds aren’t worth much. 3 acres of almost dead blackberry patches are thorny, dead sticker vines. 2 other patches look pretty grim.
One detraction for my place is some electrical transmission lines that run for about 1/8 mile across a part of it. I plowed and planted coastal Bermuda over about an acre of it. Then , in the Fall, I disk it and plant winter wheat to feed and murder deer. Didn’t do it this year due to no sub soil moisture from drought. I also have a high tower deer stand there.
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.

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
