For background see my post "Inherited Pond"
Over the last two years I have treated the pond with Algecide, Muck Remover and Herbicide (cattails). All were safe for ponds and wildlife. Pond is about 1/8 an acre and 6' deep. I know it has one large turtle (24") and MANY frogs. I have caught Green Sunfish (one every 15-20min) but all are 2-3" long. Recently I have added 4 6-9" bass and Bluegill (bucket method). I also have an order for fish (150 BlueGill, 50 Shell Crackers and 10 Large Mouth).
Here is my concern...my water is clear to 12" but I see zero fish activity. I have no minnows, bait balls, breeding nests or surface activity (I have tried bread and floating fish food-no luck).
I know there are fish in the pond, I know the water is healthy, I know I have not seen any dead fish floating.
Am I just being a bit impatient or is it normal NOT to see fish activity in small farm ponds?
Pond is near Lexington, KY..
