Well, Pottsy, looks and sounds like your nutrition program for the beavers is working nicely! Hope they continue responding well to the treatments!  Too well perhaps! I need one left to fix their dam!! hahaha (One treatment per day for a week...)

I tore out a dam on my creek. When I came back a couple of days later, it had been replaced.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Hmm, maybe our beavers are too busy dodging gators to be that industrious. Sounds like you have a large population if they're maintaining those large dams and plugging your inlet pipes. Oh yes, surrounded by wetlands hosting a ton of beavers... 6 Down... many more to go I guess. This quote from the article Dave mentiosn (Huge beaver dam in Alberta) is a little daunting: "They're invading their old territories in a remarkable way in Canada," he said. "I found huge dams throughout Canada, and beaver colonies with up to 100 of them in a square kilometer." OMG! I haven't got any ideas on that size of a beaver problem. Six would probably be about the average size for our beaver colonies down here. If you harass them enough they usually pack up and leave pretty quick too.
