Yesterday was a very exciting day. We started stocking. I didn't get any pics of the stocking, I was trying to get them in the water as quickly as possible.

The dock is complete.


Lots of structure in place.

Now I just need to see some water running through this.



I still want to put in some gravel beds and a sand beach.

Thanks for looking and let me know if I'm missing something.

Nice job, Cork...

And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?

Looks really nice.
Love the huge trees surrounding the area.
Such a pretty setting.
How many acres will the pond be when full?

Corkman do you have plans for a home or cabin on the new pond?

Fantastic Corkman! Not hard to see a lot of work went into this project but the end result is definitely beautiful. Let me know when you are looking for an old man with a bobber and a beer to sit along those shores!

Thanks guys. We are very excited. I wished I knew how to post videos. We had a huge rain storm last night so I went to the pond to see if the siphon kicked in. It did and it was unreal, a 12" siphon running full bore is something to see. I would like to know how many gallons a minute were being released.
