Thanks snrub. I definitely don't want to set it on the 3-1 slope because I think it's too steep for the RES to nest. I haven't had a spawn from them yet, I stocked them in the fall of 2012.

ETA: My backhoe isn't a mini, I'll have to see how far I can reach, how deep should the bed be? It will be difficult seeing anything though. once the clay gets disturbed the water will look like coffee with cream in it.
