If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Thanks for the offer lassig. Pond is actually close to Siloam Springs State Park if you know where that is. I will let you know if something comes up.

Jake, I replied to the other post with NRCS info. Get in touch with them, they can help. From the looks of it, maybe the emergency spillway wasn't sized properly? Was there a primary overflow pipe and emergency spillway built into the dam?

I will give them a call. We had both a spillway and drain. Apparently the funnel was just too large for them. The builder is going to patch the dam and repair the breach it in the spring.

Yes I do, one of my fishing/hunting buddies has a farm just south of 104 and only 5 ish miles from there. I am over there a couple of times a year turkey hunting and deer hunting. It makes for a nice change of pace from my place.

Well it took a little longer to than the original plan, but the dam is going back up as we speak. Going wider and with a much larger drain and emergency spillway. Hoping to take my drone out and get some footage this weekend. Sorry I haven't visited lately but I was pretty heartbroken when we lost the dam. Hoping to find some FHM to throw in the water in the next few days.

Great to hear Jakeroo. Loosing a dam would be disheartening for sure.
Remember to check those FHM over for hitch hikers. You likely do not want a pair of BH fingerlings or some other undesirable fish in there by accident messing up your stocking plans! It happens!

Did some fishing this morning. Didn't catch anything but 6-7" golden shiners. I think they are big enough to eat some fhm babies but I think the bigger ones should be fairly safe once we get more water.

Glad you got it fixed. Green stuff in bottom of pond ought to get the food chain off to a good start.
