Feels like we just shared this info not too long ago, but....As heavy rain moves into the area (praise the Lord!!), be prepared for the potential of pond turnovers and fish kills. We see this almost every fall as we transition from periods of extended heat and dry weather into cooler periods with cloud cover and heavy rainfall.

The best way to prevent this is a *properly sized* aeration system for your pond, especially if your pond is heavily populated with fish, or has heavy vegetation/algae cover. We emphasize properly sized because an improperly sized system can do more harm than good.

Need help with this process? We have full-time staff dedicated to knowing the ins and outs of aeration and what solution is best for your lake or pond. Give us a shout.

It’s a rare occasion that our equipment is at our facility, so had to capture the rainbow over our excavator as it was loading up this morning! Headed out to build her next pond.

If you’re in need of pond work, there’s a reason we own two full fleets of equipment to do the job and that it stays busy! Give us a shout and we can show you what’s possible for your property.

A time was had today dealing with a severely silted in and dried up pond 🤣 lots of educational words we could fill in on the caption but instead, enjoy these photos of the crew being good sports in an otherwise sticky situation 🫠 I know they question their life decisions sometimes but we are sure grateful for their willingness to get in there!

Some things change with time (like the Caddo Mills ZIP code, evidently!). Some things are built to last.

We recently came across a pretty special piece of our family history: a 1989 letter from Texas Parks and Wildlife regarding the renewal of our fish farm license. At the time, the state was in the process of transferring responsibility for licensing Texas fish farms from Parks and Wildlife to the Texas Department of Agriculture - and apparently Dad’s $10 renewal check was no longer needed. 😂

The letter is just one little snapshot from the early years of a business our family started nearly 40 years ago.

Today, we’re incredibly proud to say that Texas Fishing is still family owned and operated by the next generation of Willners right here in Caddo Mills. What began as a one-truck operation has grown into a family legacy we’re grateful to carry forward - and one we intend to honor, protect, and cherish for years to come.

And Dad? He’s still very much around, although these days you’re probably more likely to find him down at the coast chasing the big fish than worrying about fish farm paperwork. But we can always count on him to stop by and pick up some ice for his coolers on the way there. 🎣

We’re thankful for where we came from, proud of what our family has built, and blessed to keep writing the next chapter.

Family owned then. Family owned now. And proud of it.

Before and after: this client was dealing with almost a 100% mosquito fern takeover. Our pond management team took care of it! If your pond is giving you a headache, let us take that off your to-do list.

A beautiful Kasco surface aeration unit that we installed today! This one is also equipped with lights which will make it an even prettier display at night.

While the rain was much needed over the weekend, unfortunately we weren't surprised when our first phone calls this morning were reports of fish kills. 🎣🌧️

The recent weather in Northeast Texas has created two different conditions that can cause oxygen levels in ponds to crash, and both are common during summer months in Texas (this is a very simplified, Cliff-notes version):

Sudden Heavy Rainfall: After a long period of hot, dry weather, ponds can become stratified, with warmer, higher-oxygen water on top and cooler, oxygen-poor water at the bottom. Sudden heavy rainfall can rapidly mix those layers, spreading low-oxygen water throughout the pond. This is called a pond turnover. (As a side note, this can also be artificially induced by suddenly introducing diffused aeration without properly phasing it in a little at a time!)

Long Periods of Overcast Weather: Several overcast days reduce photosynthesis from algae and aquatic plants, meaning less oxygen is being produced while fish and other organisms continue consuming it.

Either situation can cause problems on its own, but when turnover and cloudy weather happen together, the oxygen crash can be even more severe, sometimes resulting in a sudden fish kill.

Keep an eye out for fish gathering or gulping at the surface, often an early sign of low dissolved oxygen. Unfortunately by the time you notice fish dying, the proverbial ship has sailed and it's often too late for preventive measures.

We'll help you plan for the next time - diffused and/or surface aeration can help prevent this! Give us a shout to find out which option is best for you, based on your pond's dynamics.

Go take your kid fishing in some water somewhere, before the data centers drink it all up. 🙇🏻‍♀️
