We are in NE Alabama and built a new pond last summer. It was full by the end of the year. The fat heads that were added when it was about half full are multiplying like crazy and the CC and fun to watch a feeding time. I rarely see the CNBG or RES. We have lost about 3 feet so far and I am getting worried. We haven't gotten to our normal dry season yet. We are currently about 17 inches behind on rainfall for the year. We have an old well close to the house that hasn't been used in years. I may have to put a pump in it, if we don't get some rain.
