Thanks for the update Dr. Perca and looks like you came out ahead of everyone this year! With the unusually warm weather, lack of snow and ice we did see a turtle come out of hibernation last week but then it got cold again and turtle disappeared. It is nice and warm today. I will look more carefully for ribbons. We have 3days of warm then temps heads cold again. Traditionally our pond sees ribbons after the 15th of March and usually closer to the last week of March. We have had an issue with ineffective ribbon fertilization so I may have ran out of fertile males (or Optimal fish food needs to produce specific feed for YP with testosterone supplementation?)
