We got almost 3” of rain. It brought up the pond almost 3”. Haha! Yep, every drop was soaked into our dry ground immediately. We sure needed it, but I was hoping for a little run off. My CRP is about 90% Korean Lespedesia, at least that’s all that’s come up at this point. The deer don’t seem nearly as attracted to it as they were to previous years soybeans..
No signs of any otters at the pond. Feeder goes off for a 10 second run (Texas feeder with I think a DuPont fish food). The fish clean it up in less that a minute. So my new YP appear to like it. It’s the same food they use at the hatchery. (NEMO)


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.
