Quick update. We got the soilfloc down. Clean up is worse than the application process. I didn't take any pics. My wife and mother in law manned the ropes and pulled me back and forth in 6' swaths. I spray painted the 6' markings along the pond edge. Started out with no air movement, but about half way through a bit of a west wind kicked in. So, we have some soilfloc piled up against the east bank. We had 4.5" of rain in the last few weeks. We got a 3" bump from the first 3" of rain that came over a 36 hr period. Then we had a 1.5" rain that came down in an hour. We got about 8" rise from that. I'll measure the water drop and see if thenleak slows down. I had lost about 4.5' of water since Jan first. We had a 3" rain in May, that was the only moisture we had except a few easy <.5" showers. Hoping I don't see any fish killed.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
