East Berlin Fish and Game Association

Pond Update

Our new aquatic aeration system has been completely installed and is fully functional. On the pond surface you will notice five (5) turbulent areas located approximately halfway between the center of the pond and the pond's edge, in an almost complete circle. These bubbling areas are the result of the the aeration pods located on the pond floor below.

The five (5) aeration pods are connected by tubing to an air compressor located on the west side of the pond approximately one third of the way down the pond bank from the clubhouse. This is a closed air system that feeds those five (5) aeration pods directly from the air compressor.

While fishing the pond, please try to avoid the five (5) aeration pods and the feed lines that supply the aeration pods. The feed lines are in a direct line from the bubbling areas over the aeration pods to the compressor located on the bank. If you snag your fishing line on/at/near any one of the five (5) air pods - please cut your line rather than trying to yank it out.

This will avoid tearing the air lines and/ or moving the pod bases - which will cost the club extra money to repair.

Please be courteous to other anglers at the pond - leave plenty of room and don’t crowd anyone.

And always, think safety first!
