Agree with Sunil, that is awesome!

Before your first bloom in the spring, do you think you can fly much lower and actually count your fish when your visibility is 4-5 feet?

During the BG spawn, will you be able to observe them on the spawning beds you made?

There is a little ring of better vegetation around the pond at what looks to be a constant elevation. Did your new pond previously reach full pool, before the extended drought took it back down again? If so, would seeding a little rye around the pond in the fall have saved you some erosion on the banks and sediment going into the pond?

P.S. I like to follow your posts since I am almost exactly 50 miles due north of you. The underlying geology for our two properties are very similar, as are the historical rainfall patterns. So I can probably copy almost any of your successes on your pond projects. You are just a bit warmer.
