I may have spoke (or written) too soon. Back at the pond. It's down a little over an inch in three days. I believe that's still a slower leak than what I had, but would still equate to almost a foot per month. After our five month draught this winter and spring, I was down 4'. Not sure I can put my pond in the "success" column.


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.
