Ric: Thanks for the info. The creek isn't huge, but it should be big enough to get quite a bit of sand. Removing some sand should also benefit the creek so should be a win win situation.

The big dam is finished. The lake has been limed and fertilized. Some of the banks are now seeded. Some of the grass on the island is coming up. We received a nice, gentle rain last night that should be perfect for helping it germinate / grow.

We will soon begin building 4 small dams to catch sediment and prevent it from entering the main lake. These sediment ponds will be stocked with only fathead minnows, crayfish, and grass shrimp (some day). That should provide forage base to main body with each rain. I should receive several pounds of fathead minnows on October 2nd for stocking in the main part that has water in it.
