It's cold and windy and I'm bored, so here's a small update.
The rip rap I added to act as a fish barrier worked well. It was primarily added to keep LMB from entering this pond during high water periods, but it flowed well with our recent heavy rains. I did not want to add a conventional fence barrier here because of potential blockage problems, so all turned out good.
I also aggressively managed the shoreline weeds and transplanted Bermuda plugs this Summer and this has really kept the shoreline clean and made the dam very easy to take care of.
I had intended to seine and size the CNBG this Fall, but waited due to an Eurasian Watermilfoil outbreak in this pond. That has been corrected, so we'll pick a nice day and move some fish.
