like Mongo said tho, I have never had much luck with creeping fescue, just cheap old KY31 will grow on almost any soil. I didnt even know drought hurt it much, actually the greenest spots I have in my dry yard are the fescue and bermuda right now, the bluegrass looks about like your picture.

This is exactly what I thought! I didn’t think fescue would ever die. Just get thicker. I tried looking for the worms today. Couldn’t find any. But that seems like the most likely cause. Hopefully it’ll come back. I’ll also throw down some seed.


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.
