We're in the middle of the worst heat wave and drought I've ever seen in my lifetime. I have a pond that is about 3/4 acre at full pool. Right now, the surface area is about 1/4 acre. Silted pretty bad. Only about 3 feet deep at it's deepest point and that area doesn't cover much. Nothing in the pond that I value except the channel cats I stocked when we built our home out here. They're pushing 6 lbs now. I'm meeting with a trackhoe operator this week to see what he thinks.
I really think the pond will be merely a puddle by the time this summer is over. Probably losing an inch a day or so to evaporation. I don't know that I'll have a better opportunity to clean this pond out and I look forward to starting fresh.
Do you all have any suggestions on where to find someone that can apply rotenone? I asked a fisheries biologist with the ODWC and he said he couldn't even get his hands on any...
