Spent a couple days at the pond with a friend. We harvested 18 LMB, now up to 203 for 2021. That's not counting sub 6 inchers, which we cut the tail & throw back to feed the bigguns. CNBG, HSB, LMB all active, and my friend even caught a rainbow trout. Their time is about up, I think.
Also opened up valve from forage pond to main BOW. Full of CNBG, ranging from 2 to 5 inches, poured into danger. One LMB caught near the valve actually spat up a 3 inch CNBG, likely from the uneducated forage population.
Multiple personal bests being set in CNBG, many over 1 pound. Still looking for 2 pounder, but may be next year before that happens.
A word to the wise: When you hire a power washer, be SURE to warn him not to power wash the feeder!
Still looking for a way to keep cool water fish going all year. Summer temps are okay below thermocline, but not DO levels. Nanobubbles don't do it, but I refuse to give up.
