Pretty weird this year. All the leaves came down at once. I’m thinking it’s the lack of rain. Usually it’s spread out over a few weeks. Almost looks like I could walk on these. Strong south wind has them all up against the dam. [Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]

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.
