I've seen some Ospreys already but that family has not arrived. I hope they are well.
A few years ago I used to walk the dog on the western edge of the pond. I saw many fish in the shallow water right next to what looks like a dirt boat ramp. My guess is that the shallow water warms up faster. There was an osprey that would sit in a tree at the edge of the pond. I watched him get a fish three or four times always between 11:00 and 12:00. Have not been there since a few years ago, when a coyote took a small dog from it's owner and ran away. I had a small dog too..
