With pond water temperature up to 52 degrees this afternoon, my BG and GSF showed up for their first feeding of the year. I've been throwing out small quantities of Optimal BG and dried mealworms for a couple of weeks. Yesterday a couple of trout came up; today it's trout and sunfish. I also could see one of the monster grass carp fining just below the surface, catching some rays. It's always a joyful time each Spring to see fish life once again. It can certainly be quite meditative to quietly sit on the dock and watch those hungry mouths eat up the offerings. Yesterday there was ice on one side of the pond; today there are feeding fish.
