Absolutely. I’ll be up there a bunch this spring. It should be a good year for survival, if I get many ribbons. The pond is full, and for the first five feet along the bank, below the surface it’s great cover. Lots of tall weeds from last summer’s drought are just below the surface.
I was there yesterday. Water going out the overflow pipe with more coming in. The surface still has 2” of ice though. Might be a little later this year.

Picking up a TX feeder this week. Hope to keep the feed running this summer.

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.
