The Pond


The top of the pond. The level appears to be down about three feet from historical levels and there are some issues with water quality to address over time, possibly by establishing willows and cattail and other wetland species in this area, and wind-powered aerators. There are several large catfish on the bottom, and thousands of little sunfish, and later this spring it will be stocked with bass and more catfish.
