I put another 100 4” YP. We still don’t see as many as we used to. I tried adding in some more shiners to help the YP survive. (Even though we have a lot of shiners in there now). I didn’t see any ribbons again this year, but pond level was coming up at that time. From 18” down to full) We just used to catch a fair number of them, and they were our favorites on the table. So I keep trying.
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. Otter attack in 2023
