I moved the perch feed training light from the perch production pond to the pier on bluegill production pond this evening. Just went out and checked, and sure enough I've got numerous very small bluegill fry under the light. They can't be more than a quarter of an inch long, if that. I'll bet I would have seen even more if I had the light on the other end of the pond where I observed most of the beds.
Sure wish I could get an algae bloom better than 4 feet though. After five applications of fertilizer from Greg Grimes in addition to alfalfa meal it seems hopeless. It's been a battle against the filamentous algae and some pondweed all spring. I guess the cold spring temps gave the filamentous algae the upper hand, and it's hogging some of the nutrients. Using a granular algaecide on it has been a waste of time and money.
