I got 3 inches of rain at the Lazy W pond Friday and it came up three inches. The pond is 12 feet low. I figure at that rate I'm gonna need 120 inces of rain. Where is a good hurricane when you need one?
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

I'm with you Heybud, always deferring to the rain gods that excess is undesirable, but really po'd that the hurricaine paths went 50 miles too far east. I'll bet I checked radar & Hurricaine path models every hour for 3 days just hoping. Such is the plight of "only partially full" and "have never filled-up" pond nonmiesters..du

Heybud,
what you need is a 3 inch rain one day... followed by another 3 incher the next. It takes one good soaker to get the ground where any runoff will occur.
My pond in north Texas came up 5 feet in one week. Two inches of rain on Monday, followed by 4 inches on Wednesday did the trick. 60 acres of watershed into a 1.5 acre pond doesn't hurt, either.
