Where should I put my rocks? - 10/13/06 03:10 AM
Hello everyone! I have what should be a 4 acre pond in East Texas near Sulphur Springs. Its an old dairy place and I have broken up 50 year old slabs from the dairy into managable chunks of concrete.
I would like suggestions on where to place the concrete in my new pond!!!
Should I place them in 3' piles around the bottom or along the banks for spawning?
The dam is on the south end and is over 400' long. The west side near the dam is pretty steep. The east side is much more flat and gradually slopes to deeper water.
I have quite a bit of rock so I am thinking 3' piles plus along the eastern side. Anyone agree?
The pond is currently about 7' down and would like to do this in the next few weeks.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and I love reading all these posts...
Take care everyone!
