Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Water Temps - Spawning

Central Ohio April 20, 2008

0.9 acre pond, max depth 9-10 feet

Surface Temp 67.0 deg F
2' deep Temp 64.4 deg F

Not much temperature change in 2 days, but spawning beds have appeared in the shallows. I have not seen the owners on the beds yet. Based on configuration - about 2 feet in diameter, spaced 2 to 3 feet apart - I presume they are bream beds. Based on location - in 1 to 1.5 feet of water, very near where my shallow water RES nested last year - I suspect they are RES beds.
