Looking at BranClanFarm's layout there poses an additional question for me and will pertain to him, I have no specific beds built for the BG to spawn in, most of my water is pretty deep, but I they have taken up a lot of spawning activities in a shallower cove, way out toward the point where the water flows in at, they are in the middle of spawning activities right now it appears, we have just had about 2 1/2" of rain in the last few days with more on the way, what effect if any does the rain water have washing in across the BG beds, at obviously a different temperature then the existing pond water?
I was told that a big rain event earlier in the year while BC were spawning, enough to change the water temps, would cause them to have a bad spawning cycle, was wondering if it was the same for BG. TIA


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
