Thanks Brian, I don't really want standing timber left in the pond, so I will take all of that out. I had envisioned the creek channel as a sort of fish highway that they would use to travel from the deeper areas into the shallows. The channel will extend from the mouth of the pond some 500 yards under water to very near the dam. Before excavation, the deepest part will be about 14 feet not counting the creek channel which is another 8 to 10 feet deep. I am just wondering if the log jams and brush in the creek channel will tend to deter the fish from using it as a travel route.
You gave me some things to think about.
