Bought some property attached to a large pond. Fishing has been awful this year. Last year I caught multiple fish every time. I even noticed that the minnow I bought for bait died much quicker in the tub in the pond than last year. It's been dry and the pond is down a good 18 inches. I'm guessing it might be due to water temps but I'm wondering if there is anything good out there on testing the water? I see some of these tests kits but they appear to be for a small fountain pond. Any help would be appreciated. Ive read the ph should be between 6.5 and 8 but haven't seen much of. W else. Thanks everyone. Plan to try and find an electro shock company in MI to see if the fish are there and I'm just not catching them.

Although you can send your soil sample directly to the lab, your best bet is to contact your local extension office to obtain a soil collection kit and fee schedule. (The lab will direct you to your local extension office if necessary.) Your soil test results will be sent to your extension office.
