Enormous amount of mosquito fish, probably 10 x greater than a month ago, and month of them at least 1 inch in length. This time last year we found the first tiny mosquito fish. We were also finding caddisfly nymphs and other macro invertebrates. Today all we found apart from the mosquito fish were 2 water mites and a blood worm.
