I recently cleaned out one more of the former owner's "land reefs" that was home to rodents, amphibians, reptiles, and lots of brambles. I found a pretty decent single bottom plow and these pipes: There are about 10 pieces of 6-inch PVC pipe that are between 8 and 11 feet long. My half-acre bluegill/bass/catfish pond could use a little more permanent structure. Some will definitely turn into "Brettski Logs" -- but any other suggestions? I've got a four day weekend starting day after tomorrow. Ken

This may not be what your looking for but you could tap into the gutters from your house and run them into the 6 inch pipe then into your pond.
I've noticed a pretty significant rise in the average water level of my pond since channeling all of my gutters, driveway, sidewalks and low spots in my yard to my pond.

I just did the same thing. I have all my landscape around the houes drained by a 4 inch drain tile pipe to keep water away from the foundation. The water drains into the woods. Given the low water levels this year I connected enough black sewer pipe to the outlet in the woods to reach down to the pond. This will really help I hope since I'll get about another 1/4 acre of drainage area going into my 2/3 acre pond. Wish I had thought of this years ago.
Gotta get back to fishin!
