Greetings from Montana....
We have two pond on our property....
One is approx. 15 ft in diameter and about 4 ft deep...
The other is approx. 200 ft long by 50 ft wide and ranges in depth from 3 ft to 10 ft in depth
This week (February 2010) I found that there were three holes in the ice... One in the small pond and two in the larger one...
They are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and appear to perfect cylinder... Much in what you would see when boring a hole for ice fishing... Only smaller....
Around each of the holes the ice appears to be dirty...
Could there be some critter that is boring up through the ice and crawling around?
I have never seen this before this year...
Anyone have an idea?
