Thanks! Easy to know how old my pond is. I was sitting up there on my 60th BDay during construction. Today is the big 7-0.. So I guess I need to change my signature. My pond is 10! Ha. We were swimming up there last weekend. I do have an algae bloom coming on. Some of that weird orange stuff again. Pond is about 12” below full, but we are pretty far behind on rainfall. My pondweed tried to come back this year, but I think my crawfish are keeping it cut back to very small bunches. One of these days I need to fish it hard. Haven’t taken that many out this year. The grandkids are all into summer sports vs hanging out with Pops at the farm..

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.
