Recently we discovered large fish in our dam quite by accident really. We have been here three and half, almost four years and have never seen them before. It was an exciting find here at Pine Haven. The books were out, we googled all different types of fish to try and find the same one. We think its a "tilapia". A few weekends back Stuart came over with his casting net and just like a fisherman from the bible days, he cast his nets and caught the fish. After we took about a gazillian photo's of this fellow, we released him back in the water. The level of the dam has slowly gone down in the past few weeks and the colour of the water is incredibly murky and unclear. I'm wondering if the rain which I'm still wishing for would come and settle the mud down below again aswell as how much oxygen the fish have. For the fish to grow to this size, there must be a thriving food chain down under which makes me smile.
Yes, that's pretty cool and exciting!
