I thought I needed to restock my farm pond after it completely dried up last fall then again this spring. Then in late spring we got a lot of rain and it filled up.
Today I went down to check to see if there was any water in it since we haven't gotten any rain this rummer. There was about 3 inches of water left. It was about 10 yds. across and 30 yds. long.
To my amazement there are thousands of 1 inch long bream floating dead in it with a few still alive swimming in the shallow water.
The eggs must have survived in the mud under the dried and cracked mud when the pond completely dried up.
I never new this was possible. Has anyone else heard of this?
