We finally got some rain last night and this morning, totaling 1 3/8". I looked at the pond, but it only came up 1", even tho I was running the well into the pond all night long also.

The water had a lot less visibility, due to the runoff, and I noticed that there were numerous 2" YOY LMB dead around the shoreline. Quick water temp change in the shallows maybe?

One good thing happened is that the CC were feeding last night. 2 were caught on the trot line, one about 3#-4# from the Spring 2009 stocking and one about 6#-7# that was older. (I fin clipped all the ones stocked in 2009)

So, that brings the total to around 15 CC removed this year. I started the feeder again last week, and the CC were caught in that area.

The neighbor is planning on having a fish fry in the next week or so. I put them in a cage and will keep them fed 'till then.
