Looks like I need to add some rock lining to my old pond.
My old refurbished pond is kind of my "trash" pond. It gets minimal management and has BH as well as GSF along with more desirable fish. So I really had no intention of spending the time or money on taking much care of it. But after seeing the erosion along the northern bank it has made a nice natural bench. So I think some time this summer I am going to drop some rock around at least the north side to stop the erosion.
First two pictures are of the north side where the bank erosion (from wind and waves) is happening. The third picture is of the south shore where there is a good stand of water primrose which seems to be keeping the erosion in check.
Water is pretty clear right now because during winter mostly north winds where the waves are hitting the south shore which is protected by the water primrose. But I am sure with more south winds of summer the bank erosion on the north shore will add to water turbidity if I do not get the rock lining done.
