Looks great. How do you take care of the pound in the winter?
Do you run a pump or air stone? Does your pond ice over?
We only had a very little ice for a few days this year. We also ran a
waterpump all winter right at the base of the pond.
We are just up the road from you, in Castle Rock. You can check out our
pond at http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=65zgxlu...my&x=0&y=8nfyg
Not as big as yours. But so far we have not lost any fish over winter. We
are seeing them come up now on the warmer days.
Good ponding to you.

Hi there K & G!
What a gorgeous set up you all have! It is beautiful and I really do
like the gazebo! Very nice!
In the winter I walk around it a lot when there is no snow checking on
something. I am not sure what, but something. I also find that a nice
cup of tea or coffee is essential to the process. I used an air stone
this past winter to keep the water open. Seems to have worked pretty
well and I have not lost any fish so far this winter. During the winter
of 03-04 I probably lost 5 small fish. So far none are floating and
before the current algae bloom, I did not see any on the bottom.
I saw my fish about 2 weeks ago during our little warm spell as well.
Nice to see them becoming active! Makes those walks around the pond
more interesting. :-) .
Castle Rock. Beautiful it is up there! I love to come in off 83 (I
believe it is).
Thanks for visiting my site. I will be updating it again soon.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
