Spent the last two days feeding the fish on snorkel.  The trout are getting closer, and will get up to 2' from you.  They love the dry pellet koi foods that rise and float on the surface.  On Wednesday I named two of the trout Hook and Clipper.  Hook had a hook in him and was trailing 6" of fishline.  Clipper has most of his dorsal fin missing.  Both would come close and follow me around.  Scarface is a bluegill with a patch of skin missing on his nose, and also tends to follow me.

WARNING!  Soak the dry food before feeding it to them.  I found Hook  yesterday dead on the bottom.  :'( He had gorged himself on the not fully soaked pellets, which expanded and popped his stomach.  The deeply embedded fishhook did play a role, however. 

Viz is dropping a little.  In the corners, pollen is collecting and getting stirred up by the wind.  Yesterday the thermocline was around 10-12'.  At the first dropoff on the East side of the bay, vis dropped to 10-15' below the thermocline.  The West side was still good.
