Wow it seems like forever since I was able to see the fish. After a week of above normal temperatures 40- 60 range, the ice has disappeared, on the biggest of my ponds. Didn't find any sign of causalities, but I did find a dove that somehow found it's way under the pond netting and drowned. :( which I netted out this morning. Going to try and do a head count tonight since we are expecting snow this weekend. If they would just sit still and quit that swimming around stuff. :blink:

Congrats Froggy! Lets hope it stays that way. You guys had your fair share this winter ;)
If you figure out how to get your fish to hold still for you would you kindly share that advise? :lol:

My pond finally melted out too. I was worried about the fish but it looks like only one died, a big goldfish. It's stuck in the pre-filter so I have to wait until Sunday to get in and get him out (net didn't work). I also found two dead frogs (one green frog, one pickerel frog).

Hi Robyn, Scooped out 4 dead frogs yesterday, YUCK!
