...In the stretch pic is that a crib and a B'ski log above water ? What gives - I thought you were near full ? Also looks like a little macrophyte formation around the edges.
Yes sir, dems da cribs and logs. I measured the water depth yesterday and got 35" short of pool. We corked the drain last July. Last fall, winter, and spring provided very consistent, heavy doses of precip...then, it shut down about 6 - 8 weeks ago. We have been very dry since. After the last strong rain (some weeks ago), the depth was 25" shy of pool. We have dropped 10" due to saturation of the virgin pond zone soils and evaporation. On the upside, the lower water level allows a little more last minute adjustments of stuff like this:
...my farmin' pal brought back his tractor/frt end loader and gave the rock we trucked in another shove to get it a little deeper and under the shadows of the deck and roof.

WRT the pond vegetation growth, we have a fair collection of american pond weed around the shores at the shallow and gradual slopes.
