I often get only about 20-30% ribbons from the total number of females present. Wow! I have never seen or heard that.. Very interesting. Definitely means I have more YP than I thought I did. Thank you 9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023

We�ve caught a lot over the years, but nowhere near the original stocking numbers. I was thinking of adding some, now I�ll wait. Thx TJ 9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
