Update on the pond water, and clarity.
Went up today, because we finally got some rain! 1.5 to 2.0" according to the climate website. Got some suspended clay in the water again, hopefully there's enough alum still in June pond to knock this down. Water was still coming in (trickle) when I took the pics, so it's right after a rain. I suspect it'll settle out pretty quickly. It's also still a thousand percent more clear compared to last fall.
Main inlet. You can tell how much water was coming in by how the grass in the rocks is laid over. (By the way, there were half a dozen FHM trapped up in the rocks in the inlet. They got caught up there when the water flowing in stopped.)


Another shot of the water. This shows the high water mark on the 2x2" (tape) it's almost back to where it was in March, before the drought started.



9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
