I'm removing some biomass from the pond before winter. Here's yesterdays take:
HSB
23.5" 5.95#
21.5" 5.7#
21.0" 3.98#

LMB
15" 1.98#
11.5" 0.79#

Goal is to remove 60# of biomass. RW's are low due to not feeding near as much this year as previous years and due to the low water level (between 5' low and 7' low all year) there was basically 0 spawning habitat for the fish so very little recruitment this year. If things don't change for next year I'm afraid I will have to poke a well in. Not looking forward to doing that cue to cost and then the monthly electrical cost, but if we don't get the moisture this winter/spring 2022, something has to change.
