Will you stock it, or let nature do it's thing?

I piled logs with the root ball still attached in different areas of my pond that have worked good for the fish. They are out too far from the shore for fish from the bank, but when we are in the rowboat, we do pretty good fishing those areas.

Something I didn't do but sometimes think I should of was create a couple of gravel beds for spawning. They seem to do fine without it, but I wonder if they would do better if they had it?

Looks like Rain is going to hit here pretty soon, then head your way. Do you have a rain gauge set up so you know how much you get and then measure how much you get in the pond? My small pond will rise 6 inches for every one inch of heavy rain, but my big pond will only rise 2 inches for every one inch of heavy rain. I blame all the woods above the big pond that catch the run off. Eventually I'll clear more of those trees out and get more pasture, which should improve run off.

Rain guage is on my to do list.

We just got 4 inches of rain from that storm that went through here Wednesday. It looked like most of Missouri was going to get it too. How does the pond look?

Not much different unfortunately. So far we've only had 1 measurable rainfall. Rain gauge showed 1/2".

On the bright side what little is there seems to be holding pretty well. Checked this morning and yard stick shows I've lost 1/8" over the last 72 hours.

Are you in the upper half of Missouri? My radar shows the bottom half getting tons of rain.
