The Pond

[bigugli]

Despite the damage that has been done, the fish are running in from the lake and the spawn is on. Yellow perch have finished and now feeding. White perch and drum are moving in. As are the big schools of shiner.

A little sampling from today.

Despite the fact it looks like a stink hole, it is still a spawning ground for major sportfish. Found a couple of frye in my baitnet making their way out to the lake.

What a great way to spend 5 hours.

IF it's an Atlantic, there are going to be a lot of very surprised biologists. Place hasn't been stocked in well over 20 years with chinook and rainbow, not sure about browns

Always a great time spending it along it's edges

Love the shot of the fry

Only a few hours to wait

Good job and thanks for sharing

I don't think that little fish is heading anywhere... If he goes out to the lake, he'll be dinner in no time..

 

He should be hanging out there for a few years unless it gets way to warm in the summer..

Water temps get to be soup warm with 0 flow by summer. Not a good place for wee trouties.

This is why what the stupid owner did is so so wrong . Its not just a Pond its home to so many things , wonder how he/she would feel if the wild life that used to live on that hill came into their liveing room and started rearrangeing things
