We never dreamed the CC pond would go dry, but we also never thought we'd see a drought this bad. Most of the area ponds are dry. We created the LMB pond 18' deep (max) and the crappie pond 23' deep (max) so this won't happen to them. We're about 9' low on the ponds.
With the water out of our way, we figured now would be a great time to add more shoreline structure to the LMB pond. We do not have enough yoy BG based on Todd's electrofishing survey even though there are plenty of larger ones. The pond is so low that there is no shoreline vegetation or structure for them to survive. We added even more structure now so that when (if?) we ever get rain, there will be plenty of cover.
