Harvested 8 LMB, 4 RBT (though we were expecting Stubby Steve lures to do much better), caught several 2 to 5 lb LMB we threw back. About a dozen CNBG in the 1/2 to one pound range, most returned. Trying hard to take out trout before they die in a month or two. Did not see any cormorants, but did see eagle, 4 geese, 6 wood ducks, kingfisher and a hummingbird. Oh, and a rather pale small heron along with the usual great blue.
That sounds like a really good day at the pond!
"Herbicide treatment last summer knocked back almost all pond weeds, including those I liked."
Did you treat for algae, or for other undesirable plants?
Can you cut back some on your treatment rate this year and see if you can achieve your target goals without wiping out the plants you want?
Which of your desirable plants did survive? (I am definitely going to need some "good" plants on my shorelines to combat Kansas winds.)
