Pond's down tonight after 2 runs of the 3" pump. I got the 8 hour Honda, and was surprised at the difference in volume in that and my old 2" pumps.
Back to farm tomorrow to hopefully get pond low enough to seine, and then see what Mother Nature left me from last year. We did have a few red ears? that came up with the pallets, and I'm assuming late Fall, early Winter spawn?
We had stocked a 85/15 mix on bluegill, so hopefully I have 2 or 3 different classes of fish.
Looking at installing a slide valve gate and drain on the next pond, and it will be attached to the main puddle like this one.
Any thoughts on this setup?
pond drain Eric, what we were talking about today is installing the blocking net across the pond where it narrows in the pic above. Would this be viable for a temporary grow out pond until the other pond is finished?
