Winter 2020/Spring 2021 update.

Our fish continued to grow well. The pond was full, and all species seemed to be doing well. I forgot to mention early that, as of this point, we had not caught a WE yet. We had cast netted two, but never caught one with a rod and reel. I have attached a couple pictures of some YP and SMB. The YP are fat and healthy and the smallies are constantly after something it seems.

I also added a fish feeder on the end of the diving board we mounted on our dock. It's about 10 feet deep off the end and a simple deer feeder has worked great. If we want to swim, we just slide the whole thing off the end of the diving board and replace it when we are finished. The 5 gallon bucket holds enough feed for almost two weeks. I've set it to operate once in the morning and once in the evening for one second each time. It throws quite a bit of food in that amount of time. Most of my food is gobbled up by spastic GSH heading to the surface and back down as quickly as they can, but over the last year or so, several YP feed regularly. I've never seen another species eating any pellet food.
