We've got 4-6' of water in the pond depending on where you are standing. Yes, I walked out with a stick checking the depth haha. I'm going to dump a few (50 of each)RES and SBS in the pond next week along with a few pounds of FHM. My thinking is it'll give me and the boys something to feed this summer, but with the decreased surface of water in the pond I won't have to worry about huge spawns of fish taking up room.Then once the pond has more surface area I can dump in my Copper Nose and let them do their thing.
