Well, it's almost time to see how the results of last years project went. Been a rough couple of months, so I haven't wet a hook, or been free to do much other than the typical house husband stuff.
But, I did need a way to control water movement between the 2 puddles, and adding rip rap as a cheap barrier seemed to work. This forage pond gets a lot of runoff from the pasture above us, so the free movement of fish between the puddles compromised my original goal.
The rip rap let the water from our recent rains move through as needed, but should keep fish movement to a minimum. I'll know more after I drop the water level, seine, and check the results.
