The original pic in the first post was taken at about 9:15 am. The weather had cooled a little bit in the last 24-48 hours. The temps had been in the upper 90s and dropped to the upper 80s. No precipitation. Haven’t had rain in the last week or so. North west wind had moved all the “scum” (whatever it is) to the south end.


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.
