Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Fish kill

Went to my place yesterday . My main pond water is deep green. I knew that wasn't good. Been feeding about 2 seconds twice a day. I did a 2 second test throw and nothing came to feed. So I went to my small pond at the back of my property. When I tossed in feed, cats and GSF ate voraciously. Went to the creek and repeated. Fish fed well there also.

Went back to main pond and fished with a brown Stubby Steve for BG. Nothing. Then the cork went under. A bass broke the line in the knot. I've seen bass self training on the feed so that's not a surprise. But, never got one on the SS. All this tells me that the super cold temps generated a fish kill and mostly on bluegills. I doubt that many bass survived.

So, as soon as the water clears it will be stocking time again.

4C, I am a huge fan of GSF. They will outfight a pansyass BG every time. My small pond, about 1/4 acre is essentially a gsf and cc pond. When I am able to stock again, I’ll start with trapped gsf and then buy bluegills, copper noses, bass, etc. to add to my currently toxic 1 acre pond.
