I'm sure you've all noticed that whenever there is even just a little wind blowing over the surface of relatively calm water you many times see a very fast wake going through the water as if there is a speedy fish just under the surface. It sometimes really zigs and zags too. I know that's not fish or any other swimming creature that makes this phenomenon but I don't know what is causing it other than the wind. Anybody have an explanation of how this happens? I sat down by the pond watching this today and realized I've wondered for years what this is but never knew anyone I felt I could ask.


Gotta get back to fishin!
