I checked my neighborhood pond for any visual issues. All seemed well and it was around 30 degrees here.
At my neighbor Lee's pond, he's supposed to have been putting out some Christmas trees for the potential YP spawn, but has not. I put out a clump of (3) trees there and hope for a YP spawn. Around late summer '22, after a few stockings of smaller YP in the 2-3" range, we put in some 4-5" YP. The pond is polluted with fatheads of all sizes, so I'm hopeful that we may see some egg strands. I know Ohio has seen some already
Things should warm up this week.
